While we won’t get the official figures until later this week, the early word is that Level 5’s PS3 exclusive White Knight Chronicles has sold 130,000 copies in its first day.
The game went on sale Christmas Day in Japan.
Granted, this isn’t terrible for a PS3 title in Japan (or Xbox 360 title, for that matter), it is lower than probably Sony and Level 5 expected.
Reviews for the game has been so-so — check out Tim’s reading of the Famitsu review here.
