    Anyone care to guess estimations on sales for the PS3 that week?

    And first week sales on Final Fantasy XIII?

    Sureply pre-orders are through the roof. Wouldn’t surprise me if they match that of MW2. Everyone in Japan would nearly have this pre-ordered.

    It probably won’t sell as much as MW2 as heaps of people who didn’t pre-order, bought it first day and week. But with the Japs, they are that serious they pre-order a year in advance and buy first day with everything. CDs, DVDs, Games…

    Damn the Japanese box art looks 100x better than the one were getting here in Aus/Europe… but w/e, itll have its face slotted somewhere in the cupboard while i toil hours on end trying to get the main character to get to level 50.

    Looking at all of square enix’s releases… since the big dude left to mystwalker, I cant help but think it will be overhyped.
