Nice. Looks like ME2 is heading towards a 1 million unit opening.

Including PC probably, but not just on 360. It looks like it will get above 500k in America, maybe even 600k, but in ME 1, fewer than half the number that were sold in America were sold in others

http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=7635&region=All

Certainly 1m week 2, and should get to over 3m

Here's the way I look at it:

If VGC is correct that ME2 has 390k currently and 1 week left of pre-orders, we should see about 450-475k pre-orders. About 33% of all sales should be walk-ins (IMO) so that puts us at 675k in NA only.

That leaves ME2 with needing just 325k from the JP and PAL releases. If PAL is 50% of NA sales, then we're at 1,012,000 between both NA and PAL numbers. It'll be close, but I think it can be done



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

A million seller in one week is a safe bet.

Could WKC do a 80K first week?

It's kind of surprising, really. Could the game really not be up for pre-orders yet?



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Doubtful. It has 2 weeks left of pre-orders. Given trends, it should wind up with about 45k in pre-orders. *most* games that are either niche or well-preordered see about 33% of sales come from walk-ins. I think that WKC should be no different.

So it should hit 70k on first week. Certainly respectible for the title.

Incredibly, a list not dominated by Nintendo!

If the game has legs like Valkyria Chronicles, I'll be happy.

Not trying to be mean, but I don't think we're going to see many RPGs with VC-type legs. It wound up with a 20x multiplier. If WKC had similar legs, we'd be looking at it being a million seller in America along.

I believe it'll probably be closer to what Demon Souls has done on the PS3 in the West - pretty good first week, and some pretty decent legs. DS is at a 4x multiplier, and still quite healthy. I'd expect WKC to see 70k OW and 350k LTD or higher in the US.
