Isn't it kind of futile to be making first day sales predictions anyway? We almost never get first day numbers outside of Japan, and even there we haven't been getting them for a little while. My first week prediction is 1.2 million.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

First week 1.2? LOL?! This THE PLAYSTATION 3 Ultimate game! This is what ps3 was made for all along(except for blu-ray ofc). In my opinion first week could be a haloish week but on ps3. And since halo 3 first week was 3.8 mln Im betting that about half of it(maybe closer to 2 m) will sell during the first week.
Think about it for a sec this is THe game that amercians love, europeans love, and japanease like very much. Halo 3 did very poorly in japan, manly because of its poor install base there unlike ps3 that has a good base in japan and looking at final fantasy XIII we see that japanease people have the buying power of europeans or even the americans. Techincly it could sell more then halo 3 but thats too optimistic even for a gow fan.



God of war predictions: 
1 day over 1m

ltd over 7m

PS3 overtakes xbox 360 by the end of 2011 fiscal year (march 2011)

Natal beeing not a big hit. Wand beeing less succesful then natal.

Ps3 ll have greater weekly sales then wii in june.

ps3 ll have  greater weekly sales then wii throughout q3.

Xbox 360 ll recive a price cut in 2011 fiscal year.

Gran turismo 5 ll outsell halo 3 odst in first day sales and ltd, also it ll outsell halo 3 in ltd. 

Uncharted 2 ll get pass 5 m mark in 2011 fiscal year.

God of War 3 pre - orders are bound to pick up when it's about to release. But it's around
339 K in the America's alone. So I think it's going to have around 700 - 800 K in America alone when it launches. So I'm going with :

FW : 950 K - 1.5 Mill WW

LTD : 3 - 4 Million WW



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

I really have no idea. How many PS3 games have ever sold 1 mil in a day? I can't think of one. I'll go with 500k WW. It'll sell like hotcakes in the states, I'll say 350k in NA, 125k in EU and 25k in JP.

One thing I know is after playing 2, this has become a bargain bin game for me.

MGS4 and GTA4.

Also, not liking GoW2 means you have no soul.

OT: I'll predict first week, because it's simpler.

NA: 700k

Others: 350k

Japan: 50k

Total: 1.1 million

Then between 3 and 4 million lifetime.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue had 1 Million pre-orders in Europe according to Sony
