I'd say it's more than likely going to go ahead as long as it gets close enough to the 8,000 target. Perhaps they'll extend it for another few weeks so it gets over the line?
I don't know... most of those 600 are probably thanks to the big promotion of it at SDCC and the various videos of it at the event. There isn't likely to be any big events before the end of next month to convince people who don't already know of this item and have already decided if they can afford it. I think the last week will have a surge from people who know that they can pay for it, but if they give us the Japanese numbers, it will be worth seeing what their first week numbers are, as they need to out-pace the American backers if this has a chance of getting anywhere near 8000.
