@Arbiter, No, this game didn't show up on any other radar. I think we all agree that this game is a flop (compared to GH3 and Rock Band). However, the only difference is how big a flop this is. Some thinks it GLS should be < 100K, but not many dare to drive the price to that level. It seems the resistance point is at 150K (15 DKP price point).
Looking at VGC, it seems 20K is just for US. For whatever reason, there was no Other (Europe + etc) data, even though simEx has release data of May 23 for Europe. Strange, isn't it ? Anyway, because of the lack of Europe data, I think it is safe to say that this game fate is still in determination phase.
You are right, that for game that have very low #, like this one, VGC has much bigger percentage errors. I think it is not impossible for the actual sales # to be 100% more (40K instead of 20K). And I am banking on the fact that once this game goes into bargain bin ($20 or $30 in US), the sales will goes up (up to shipped #, which I have no idea). I know that I am reaching for straws here, but that is one of thing I enjoy going long, instead of going short :).
