Simply put, how many boxes/downloads does TOR sell this yr. Should be interesting to look back at this thread after next month.
I am going with 2.2M
EDIT changed title to copies sold.
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.

edit:
4.503.247 total copies sold
Yes, that's right, folks.
@ OP: please edit your topic to "copies sold" instead of "boxes sold" to reflect the content of your post.

2.2m is too high. It will be over a million for sure. As of nov 12th there are 865,669 preorders for it. It hasn't updated yet and I assume it is over 900k. My guess is with the way numbers have been going 1.2m

Including digital download, I'd say 2.5-3M...
5 million at launch EU + US considering if you look at total box sales alone without digital looking at 1million a piece preorders US and EU and rising fast.
'Hold's little finger to mouth' *Dr.Evil voice* 1 million!
Minimum.
What is more interesting would be to see how many of these people will actually be playing 6 months later.
I would say 1.5 million boxes.

70%, but the 30% that left got replaced by a much bigger number of newcomers due to the imminent Twi'lek lapdance + Whack-a-Wookie expansion.

Thats US and Box orders only, not digital downloads. last year downloads accounted for 40% of the mmo sales.... he could be right..
Indeed... I'd put money on a 75%+ retention rate at 6 months.
I don't see TOR having a serious dropoff until past 12 months...if there aren't significant content updates. With good additional content, they could keep that 75% up to two years, I think...
I just traded in Battlefield 3 XBox 360 version for pre-order of SWTOR.
Change that to Whack-a-Gungan and you may have a record for box sales.
And possibly, some more asians after the release of the revamped female armor patch.
For most people, character development and personal story ends upon clicking "Log in" if not "Start Game"
I'm totally serious. Don't you know. I'm a fanboy. That's the kind of thing I would think up because i'm in a delusional trance about SWTOR that makes me believe anything is possible.

And only physical copies sold
Yes, but that was the topic: "boxes sold" rite?

OP seems to imply digital included...
Seriousness noted. But we'd better start educating mosquitos about currency and the StarWars IP and how massive mosquito online rpg's are so awesome in order to meet eleventy billion V_V

Oh crap ... went with the topic title ...
In that case: 4.5 million total copies sold before 1 - 1 - 2012

Methinks ants would be a better target audience...I believe they are still the most populous creature on the planet...
digital and boxed.worldwide.
i estimate 4m.
Of course, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little game with this.

Most people seem to forget about the Christmas sales.
I would expect EA to update some sales figs after Cyber Monday, maybe again at the new year.
