A way to make this thread longer without any single worthy post while ignoring famitsu, dengeki or first day Famitsu data.AnimeTheme said:

I'll have a better idea how the week goes when I close on Saturday. At the three day mark, it looked like this:
36 shipped
28 preordered
15 preordered sold
5 non-preordered sold
About 50% of the original shipment in 3 days. I'm assuming some people are picking theirs up today and tomorrow, because a couple had the game fully paid off.
Also, we had one guy pick his up here because the other gamestop was sold out of non-reserves.
Caught up on this thread, too, now. 
Me, too.
At least one of those won't sell a million. Besides, doesn't that usually happen at the end of the year when the big games all get released around the same time?
On the one hand, this is a Sony guy agreeing that CC:FFVII won't sell 1 million.
On the other hand, I recall Izzy having a history of underselling Sony games before release and saying "It did better than I thought" afterwards. :lol
It's the lowest it's been since it sold 80,012 the week of 26 March - 1 April earlier this year.

I think CC:FFVII can sell 1 million, but it'll have to do at least MH2P-like 1st week numbers. I don't think it'll have the legs.
Hate to be the Devils advocate but the PS2 At the moment is still alive, if i was a Indy software company, i be making games for PS2, low cost to develop plus a huge market to sell to.
- anyone think i am crazy? As an entrepentuer myself i see alot of money that could still be made in the Playstation 2 market. Esspecially in Japan.

cbjars, while it sounds like a good idea, it really isn't.
By the time you release your game, PS2 games won't recieve as much press. It'll sell mostly on the power of used games and hardware, while the current gen systems receive the lion's share of the attention. You'd be better off making games for Wii Ware, PSN, or Live. You won't have to pay for physical media, and you'll have lower dev costs and a good way to see just how much you sold via download numbers.
Or, if you absolutely want to make a physical game, make a game for Wii with both a classic controller and a wiimote scheme.

I'm guessing 120k-150k at most, personally. It's a nice seller, but it isn't crazy-huge like Bioshock. I had more people today asking about Mario Party or Carnival Games than Metroid Prime 3. With regards to Carnival Games, most of the Wii owners I've met are parents that think: "OH MY KID'S A MORON. WHY NOT GET HIM A BUNCH OF GAMES IN ONE FOR $40!?!"

The software market for PS2 has been shrinking the last few years; at least as a percentage of the total. Actually we've just recently hit the point in Japan where total PS2 game sales and total Wii game sales are pretty equal. By the time any game started today is complete, though, that will no longer be the case.cbjars said:

Exactly, the problem is the PS2 in America.
It continues to sell well and the Wii game sales are very far from equal with the PS2.

Please don't copy the whole message (because I'm putting it right xd).
#2 is Bladestorm and did quite well, over 90% sold through (I wasn't sure which game it was...excite translator took it as BREST and I was like WTF?).

Very nice sales for Bladestorm, especially considering it's Koei and this isn't (by name) a Musou game.
Crystal Chronicles continues to track just a little bit higher than the GameCube original:
I'm very disappointed in Summon Night's poor performance -- I really hoped the game would get a DS boost. Its 21,000 first week sales is basically identical to Swordcraft Story 3's first week, and it was the weakest performer of the three:

Nintendo's obviously started stockpiling/redirecting for Xmas. The PSP is probably seeing its stock dwindle due to the new hotness coming. The PS3 is actually hanging onto a decent portion of the Minnabump. Everything else isn't really unexpected.
