I don't think it was ever in doubt that this would reach the million mark, it was a matter of "when" not "if." Those calling it a flop were obviously butt hurt at the fact that this is a Wii exclusive. As it stands right now it is the best selling third party console game this gen, the best selling console monster hunter game of all time and judging by capcom's recent financials, a smart bu$iness move.
I think it will hit 1m sold before x-mas. and when this gen is over it will be in the top 5 of best selling third party games in Japan.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
