So less than 2 weeks... to be fair 12 days?

My GAF prediction for NPD showing close to 500k can be true

And I predicted ~1m for the first month: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=160072381&postcount=986

Nice sales! Deserves way more though, incredible game! Hope it legs well

Patch coming.

As we confirmed previously, the 1.03 update seeks to reduce certain load times in addition to performance optimizations. The patch also resolves an issue that resulted in abnormal game behavior after many continuous hours of play. Additional fixes will be included as well.

Cue the, "well it's the only game the system has" excuses

Cue the, "well it's the only game the system has" excuses

One guy on Shinobi's twitter claimed that one of the only reasons the game has sold this well is because, alongside a lot of marketing, it was released on a "starved console". It's ridiculous that such negative hyperbole keeps getting tossed around about a console that, as far as critics and sales are concerned, has the best lineup for the generation at this point. It took the PS3 about 19 months to get its first 90+ "exclusive" retail game. The PS4 had two of them after 16 months. The X1 still doesn't have any and it's earliest chance to overcome that hurdle isn't until October. Then count all of the other exclusives that scored 80 or higher as well as the quality multiplats, most of which run slightly better on PS4, and you have to wonder what it takes to maintain the delusion. A game sells well on X1 and people like that guy say it's because the game is simply good and that's all there is to it, despite the X1's roster actually being lighter in quantity and lower in number of high scoring games by comparison. Yet the PS4 gets an awesome game that sells well and people like him say it's because the PS4 "has no games".

Insane. Especially for a "niche" game.

Patch coming.

Looks like my 6-650k prediction for FW sales is close to accurate!
