you certainly have a very very high lifetime expectations for all 3 titles...

ROBOTECHHEAVEN

Remember Japan is the worst region for legs, and games like DQIX sells tons in first week, but sometimes don't even are able to make another million with the legs. MH is bundled and proved to be a leg series, it'll have legs for sure because of word of mouth, a better OP than MHF2G is probably reality, but don't expect the same kind of legs. If it doubles first week sales will be just expected.

Wii Sports Resorts in other hands will be a monster legs game.

My Bets

DQIX FW: 2.8million
DQIX LTD: 4 million

MH3: Just can't predict

Wii Sports Resorts FW:600k
Wii Sports Resorst ltd:3.5 million

Those are some great games and numbers, hope they succeed.

This is HARD!

Ok I predict:

Dragon Quest IX

First week: 2,4 million
Lifetime: 3,6-4 million
Hardware: No idea, 130 k ?

Monster Hunter 3

First week: 500-600 k
Lifetime: 1,1-1,2 million (at least I hope it will be a millionseller)
Hardware: 90 k

Wii Sport Resort

First week: 250-300 k
Lifetime: 3,5 million
Hardware: 30 k

I don´t know, it´s extremely hard to predict these games except Dragon Quest IX which we all know will be huge (have a HUGE first week and then fizzle out after awhile). I really hope that Wii Sports Resort and escpecially Monster Hunter 3 will become millionsellers but it´s hard to tell with MH 3. Wii Sports Resort should do it with great legs but I do not expect it to have a huge first week and the hardware boost from it I predict to be smaller than most think (I hope I´m wrong though, would be great to see it have a big effect but I see it more as a small steady longtermboost, I think 30 k would be realistic). Hardwareboost from MH 3 should be huge though with bundles and new color + the fact that it will likely draw in a new audience.

Wii Sport Resorts:
FW: 180k
LT: 2.5m
HW: 30k

Dragon Quest IX:
FW: 2.1m
LT: 3.3 m
HW : 120k

Monster Hunter 3 :
FW : 400k
LT : 1.2m
HW : 60k

oooh this is fun


monster hunter 3 : 1st week - 400k , lifetime - 1.5million, 100k hardware
dragon quest 9 : 1st week - 2.3million, lifetime - 4million, 200k hardware
wiisportsresort : 1st week - 300k, lifetime - 9million, 60k hardware

No idea! But what I'm most interested in will be the software bumps for traditional games on Wii from MH3. Muramasa, Tales, Fragile, Arc Raise. Will there be a demographic shift in Wii land?
