Not convinced FFXIII will get to 2m in Japan given this drop occured over the holidays. Will need price cuts/re-release(s).

yeah you're probably right source, after first day to first week sales i thought maybe the legs were gonna be better than i thought, but 2nd week drop is quite big even for a FF title. 2M is certainly not certain.

so all the hate on TheSource "underestimate" FFXIII's second week can stop now? Or MC is undertracking the game and Famitsu is always more accurate?

Might not even sell out it's first shipment completely with this sort of drop.  We could be looking at a MH3 repeat, only this time it can't be blamed on SKU hijinks.

wouldn't go that far, it only has like 110k left to go.  MH3 still has more unsold copies then that, although the multiple SKUs had something to do with that.  They still shipped more copies even with all the unsold stand alones.  It's looking more like 1.9 million or so right now.

You don't think it'll sell 110k?

Taiko's comeback has been awesome. I'm really curious how Musou and Graces held up. I'm guess well on the former, badly on the latter. Momotaru might be doing good numbers too. Shame about FFCC though.

Under 200k is a surprise for FFXIII though. I figured it'd be less frontloaded with the holiday, but it's almost in line for the rest of the series. 2m isn't going to happen at this rate, maybe they should've released the 360 version to cover it?

Zelda's debut is a little disappointing too imo. Though it did as well as PH, I was hoping for better. :/

I think it'll be close.  I said "might" though, and also like MH3, I expect a small 2nd shipment regardless (to cover specific regional demand).

ff13 is already price cut around my neighbor shop

now ppl can buy it 65oo yen, i m expecting from otoshidama boost
