What I meant was that it was our most accurate guide back then before this 750k figure came out. Just like VGChartz when they are the only figures available for some of the games, there's no choice but to put some trust on their numbers.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 288 ]bids

We might have a misunderstanding. I think their 750,000 shipped is accurate. What I meant was that their early estimates of 420,000 for the fiscal year was probably conservative for a reason and players shouldn't use those early numbers as a guide for a title that hasn't been released yet.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

Like the VGChartz issue, I think it's much better to rely heavily on a publisher's own estimate than anyone else's, don't you think? They may not be correct all the time, but it's something, and it's definitely a something that is better than VGChartz.
@Just_Ben,
Again, the only territory the game is selling well anymore is NA, and even then, it didn't even reach 100k for July. With the influx of big games on the other consoles, I can see an even bigger reduction in monthly sales.
The game may reach 750k sold, but when? By July, it sold around 250k in NA, 100k in Japan, and possibly 200k in PAL regions. August is the end of the summer gaming drought with Bioshock and Metroid Prime 3 and NFL. It will be miraculous if RE4 sold 100k this August. And then there's Halo, and Mario, and Smash Brothers, etc. RE4 will be forgotten under the barrage of these blockbuster titles.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 288 ]bids

Well shipped means sold sometime. So we can expect at least 750k sold. The problem is, that we don't know the numbers for others exactly, but i would consider 750k shipped means 650k sold WW at least. Looking at the US, i have no doubt the game will last after Christmas, and at the current rate it should be a million seller (WW) by then.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids

Their fiscal estimates are for shipments as well remember. My point was just that players shouldn't be so quick to predict based upon conservative numbers listed in a company's financial press releases.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

We have to consider, though, that this is shipment numbers, not sell-through numbers.
If I remember correctly, the game has dropped from the PAL and Japanese charts already and really only selling well in NA. If the game still charts decently on the August US NPD then it'll have a chance to reach near a million sales, but right now, I still have my doubts.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 288 ]bids

Remember back in July when people were saying the stock price should fall because of their conservative fiscal targets? Something to consider the next time a company releases expected numbers...they can be off by a great deal.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

I'm with you on this. I believe ideas of this game selling more than 1 million copies on the Wii to be a little fanciful considering the competition this has in the next quarter.
I am targeting this stock for the 85-95 DKP range for global lifetime sales
