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.

I wouldn't go that far... top 5 console for sure, but not if we bring in DS/PSP.

When this gen ends, it'll probably be (out of what's already announced now)...

1. Dragon Quest IX (DS) Square Enix
2. Dragon Quest X (Wii) Square Enix
3. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP) Capcom
4. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd (PSP) Capcom
5. Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) Square Enix

 

...or console...

1. Dragon Quest X (Wii) Square Enix
2. Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) Square Enix
3. Monster Hunter 3 TRI (Wii) Capcom
4. Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3) Square Enix
5. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) Konami

I may (probably) be wrong about this, but I believe the Taiko Wii game is near MGS4's numbers, and is still selling, albeit in small numbers.

I was going on if it stays consistent at 5k per week or maybe boosts to say 7k and then gets the x-mas bump that it would have a shot of hitting 1m sell through before the end of the year, but it would depend on how big the holiday bump is.

NoName: Had no idea Taiko was near MGS4 numbers that's pretty impressive. Isn't there a sequel on the way though? Wouldn't that cut into the originals sales?
