Forums - Sales Discussion - FFXIII first shipment is only 1 million???

There is a post on GAF that states the first shipment is only 1 million with another 300k being shipped shortly afterwards:

That would limit the bundle shipment to only 40k.

 

Edit: Here's the Japanese link:

and here's the babel fish translation:

This week sale title almost “PS3: It may become [huainaruhuantaji] XIII”, is.

As for the first shipment 1,000,000 book, with sale day arrival 150,000 book, with the shipment schedule, weekend 150,000 book at amount,

When you suppose from circumstance of reservation, also the possibility of achieving the million at first week is high, is.

Of course PS3 bundled lightning edition focusing on the net with shortage of goods,

It remains even from the shop front and the little it has entered in a state where you say.

This work the being countless the method which purchases PS3 with aim, in addition SCE because of this work

The extent which can do also the how to see was finished to step on in big reduction,

It is the title which becomes a big turning important point in PS3.

Concerning contents that this the necessity to write is improbable.

Can I say it?



Simple marketing strategy.. make it sell out so that everyone wants it..



 

mM

If they undership... I will kill them.



                            

*chuckles at the guys claiming greater than 1 million first week sales*

If this is true, wowza, though I'm pretty sure retailers didn't want to overstock it, plus the fact that it'll cost more in Japan than the standard rate.

Kind of expected ... Well, at least I think so.



Japanese retailers have been burned many times this year. They probably need to be more cautious now.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

It looks like our first week predictions are somewhat screwed.

This could hurt a lot of my predictions if they undership ¬_¬



                            

1m initial shipment, 150k day one in addition and another 150k for the weekend. 1st week could be as high as 1.3m, which was probably best case scenario for the game anyway.
