anything below 1m bad news?
this new standard of success you created is insane dude :D

if it does 1m LTD SE will be VERY happy...

I was just comparing sales to recent main (numbered) entries in the series - I'm sure IX had a first week of around 2m in Japan and sold over 4m total, and XIII wasn't far behind.  I know the Wii base isn't as big as the DS or PS2, but it's still big enough for big games to shift huge numbers.  1m lifetime would be a big drop for the series.

Eh, with the Wii dead, its successor (which will play the game with better features) on the horizon and this being an MMO (probably cut the potential sales into a quarter), 1m LT on the Wii is more than plenty. They're going to make a fortune off the subscriptions anyway. It won't compare to DQIX (it could've, had it released a year and a half ago as a real game), but that should be fine, profit-wise.
