Meaning you are giving 1k for your "wiggle room." That's a definition of fuzzy math if I ever see one ;)
That said, I really hope it goes beyond 20k. But we need to remember that this is a short week for Love Live! since it was released two days later than other stuffs
Also, any comment on the timing? I personally think this is the best time to release. With the series ending, any lack of recognition before is now gone. People realize how good the show is, not just some kind of Idolm@aster clone. Episode 12 just aired so it will squeeze in some last-minute decision based on the new-found drama as well. If I were hesitated before, I would certainly buy it now to support Honoka-chan :)

My take will be 13k-18k, but I will be happy to be wrong if the sales goes to 19k 20k or beyond.

My prediction is 17k, meaning you would be right if sale is 14k for example. But I would be right if sale is 17,300 because I chose a shorter range and therefore, I'm more accurate.

^ Love Live just might reach 20k or get very close to it....
I sure hope so, Wonderful Rush indeed!
Watching episode one a few times on BD1 on Friday I remembered that the Soundtrack includes the Arise insert song. Preordered...
I always score high so I will guess 18K-23K.
Mar 25, 2013 4:17 AM by hpulley
How about setting the range of guess as 5k? You said the sales will be 10k-15k. My take will be 13k-18k, but I will be happy to be wrong if the sales goes to 19k 20k or beyond.
Wonder if anybody would like to join in....

It's still doing very strongly at Amazon as well, where the Stalker prediction of 10.6k doesn't account for the release week sales any more.
Stalker used to account for release week sales by accumulating points for 1 week after release day. This however allowed some titles such as Tari Tari, end up extremely overestimated due to its strong Amazon ranking during release week.
I guess it's kind of hard for Stalker to accommodate all scenarios... but it's doing quite a good job for predicting 1st week sales nevertheless. The ones which are particularly skewed towards Amazon or storefront, seem to be the most deviated no matter what algorithm Stalker uses.
I have heard that Stalker slightly reduces the daily accumulated points towards the cumulative points for titles that get particularly popular to reduce overestimation... but i'm not sure if it still occurs.

Love Live! and Horizon II do seem very very close now. If Love Live! were to rank above Horizon again for Mar 24... then it could be almost certain that it has outsold Horizon with ~20k-ish?
I've been predicting ~15k as well, however it has been doing a bit better (IMO based on the daily rankings) than Little Busters! did at Gamers and softmap... and even ranking a few times on the Animate Top 10. It's still doing very strongly at Amazon as well, where the Stalker prediction of 10.6k doesn't account for the release week sales any more.

Update with Saturday's data
Key points:
- For the BD, the top six stay exactly where they were the day before, which means LoveLive is still above Horizon2, and Nanoha SLE and UC Gundam as strong as ever (although Nanoha LE and RE have fallen).

- In the BD chart, Kurobas rises and Nanoha dropped below Kurobas. Chu2byo also rises to overtake Psycho-Pass.
- A new entry in the DVD chart: the short anime for the Gachaman franchise.

Do you think there will be a shortage of 1st week sales this time around for GaruPan v3? The restock is now 21 days compared to the 6 days that GaruPan v2 initially had. Maybe Amazon JP is being a lot more cautious this time around...
Mar 23, 2013 4:19 AM by symbv
^ Key observations;
- Clearly Love Live is strong in shopfront as most shops deliver their orders on the official release date. Now it may just beat Horizon2 when the full week's data come in.
- On the other hand, we can see GalPan is more skewed towards internet retail channel as online retailers usually try to send their orders a bit earlier.
-
That'd be amazing if Love Live! ends up beating Horizon. I had it pinned at minimum 15k because of how underestimated Little Busters! ended up being. Love Live! is actually doing pretty well on Amazon JP as of lately... but there's the danger of sales being significantly lower from v2 onwards since v1 only had 1ep and is cheaper than the other volumes. Hopefully not!

Heart or brain....decision....decision
I believe my heart but I follow my brain. 17k it is. Because this is for the bragging right, I will be vigilant about the numbers, so watch out :D
Well, it was released before the bombshell of ep.12 was aired. I just came back from reading the Japanese forums, and boy the discussions and debates about Love Live exploded. Whatever impact this episode has for the sales of the series, it will not be reflected in vol.1 sales.
I have some thoughts on on the cliffhanger as well. But I will put them in the Love Live! forum later today :)
