@Saviour, the PSP has better graphics then the Wii. Anyways dont forget PS3 slim + $100 price cut + GT5 + FFXIII. PS3 is going to rape the Wii in japan.

When is this gonna happen? this year? or we are talking about long term...

@ROBOTECHHEAVEN

I love DQ series but I seriously think your estimate for DQ9 and MH3 are way too high...

 

MH I am expecting about 1.5-2M lifetime, as for DQ I think 5 is a reasonable even if it is a bit high. DQVIII was 4M in japan, I think a DS version could exceede this. I would say between 4-5m is a fine guess.

I have always said that it would be a huge disappointment for SE if DQ9 does not sell at least 4 million units. So your expectation is about the same as mine.

However, I think MH3 would creak 1 millions lifetime but not much more. Since only Wii Sports and Wii Fit has sold over 3 million units this gen, I think 3 millions for MH3 is just way too high.

Even if WSR and WF+ "only" sell 1 million each in Japan, they would still be considered success.
