If you're right on your predictions and the game drop below 5k that fast then Capcom can be surely disappointed about it. (915k in 10 weeks, and selling below 5k per week, it will never reach the 2 mil estimated)

these are predictions for the americas right?

EDIT: Never mind...

so yeah i guess your predictions are valid except i don't really think that it will sell that less in the last few weeks because with 5k average per week MH3 would never make it to 2M just like the poster above me said...

yeah pretty much spot on! though i hope it doesnt drop pff to 22k next week...

yes! more than 22k :D
seems like the legs are helping ur predictions(second week slump). I'm also relieved its holding up this well

Your prediction is holding up pretty well Savior, we'll see how it holds up compared to your 6-10 wk prediction as well. Good job, I must say.

Also, I just crossed the 1000 posts line! ha.

And with this one, I pass the 4,000 posts line lol.

This week was 32k, instead of the 22k I predicted for week 5. Now my predictions are catching up in terms of total (~9k off), but the weekly sales have been over my expectations. I slightly updated the OP by ADDING what it actually did in green/black.

This Week's Japan Preview (9/6/2009) says MH3 will be around 18-20k this week.

On my chart, this counts for Week 6, where I had 16k.

MH3 has sol 18.4k this week,just above the 16k I had before. Sales have been always slightly above what I predicted, and may just get to exactly 915k after the ten weeks are up.

If that happened, it would indeed be something special.

It would be. As I said before, very good analysis.

Also, we'll see who gets to the next 1000 posts mark faster;)

I'm just surprised that the game is hanging tough in the Top 10 at all; most other 3rd party games have been nowhere nearly as lucky.  It's definitely showing legs.
