I see no reason for Konami to be confident in this regard. This is not a major popular series within Japan. This series has never sold over a million copies within Japan. They are making this game for a console with a tenth of the total install base of the console that couldn't sell over a million copies on the first three attempts in Japan. So I wonder what strange confluence of mystical energies is going to bring this about. I think there is a serious problem in Konami. Either they are incredibly deluded about their chances, or are inventing fanciful tales for the public.

I now extend an open challenge to anyone who is saying this title will sell over a million copies in Japan within the first month on the market. I challenge you to a bet. The stakes 1000vg$. I bet this title will not sell a million copies within japan during its first month on the shelves. I would go for a longer period, but honestly I am not patient enough to wait twelve months to finish off a serious bet like this. All you have to do is say you accept. Simple enough proposition if your so confident.

The title sells a million or above and you get 1000vg$. The title sells less, and your a laughing stock. I think your confidence is a facade, and nothing more. Time to lay down a little humility. You guys are so confident that its going to make titles like Brawl look pathetic then lets see you put that vg$ where your mouths are.

Diabloz if you cannot tell I am calling you out, or anyone else foolhardy enough to take this bet. I bet you will flinch and not even respond.

I don't think anyone will take your bet. Although if it was me, I would have proposed 700-900k for the first month as the bet threshold.
