^ Sounds reasonable.

If ARF doesn't break, 100k it's a total dissapointment. MH3 will be just as big as the PSP versions, if not bigger

Yes, because 360 JRPG's are getting boosts lately? How much did SO4 sell last week? 500 units?

It's mostly the price, and some niche stuff which gives it  an aditional 1k to 2k extra each week.



Xbox 360 is alot cheaper than PS3 so its hardware sales can fluctuate more easily on software.

I'm not talking about boosts - I'm saying at the price, with the existing library of titles, its attractive enough to keep a small amount of base demand active vs dropping away to nothing.  After all every week around 5 to 6K or 360's are selling, someone's buying them.  Why?  Well, there's no new releases to talk of, so it must be mainly made up of base demand, and base demand is driven by price and available content attractiveness.

Let me put it another way, if the 360 was the same price but only had Western titles like Halo, Gears but no Star Ocean, Tales, etc. how much to you think it would be selling each week right now?  I'd imagine the 360 would be dead in the water save the (expensively attained) cache of titles that appeal in the region.

Either that or there are approx 5K to 6K folks a week interested in dipping into shooters and Western titles I guess.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I don't expect ARF to come close to 100K, but it should sell a solid 75-80k if its legs hold up.  Even so, the debut number is pretty good.



what happen to ps3, it is so low, great xbox 360 hardware number



low numbers for arc rise fantasia 28k, jrpgs are supposed to be big in japan, might end up 150 k LTD worlwide if lucky.



Arc Rise Fantasia pretty good



Yuusha 30 had a very good drop.
