Hes not saying "if" that happends.
Hes saying he think it will give a boost to hardware sales in japan.
He doesnt mention why he believes it has the potential to reach 10m, other than how successfull the beta tryouts was, and how popular the title is in japan, and that console owners have waited along time for a new monster hunter title..

The bolded is what I said, except you make a stronger statement that he asserted it to be so rather than leaving for the chance that it is conditional, which I might agree upon rereading what was said.
Yet the game is still tracking to do half of what the previous mainline Monster Hunter has done in Japan.
It would make more sense if he was talking about the game being western-focused, or multi-plat than mention Japanese sales (which are almost certainly going to decline with respect to handheld titles.)
Either way, ten million is a ridiculous prediction for a single Monster Hunter game, and I don't even know why you'd post it, especially since it is based on flimsy assumptions. That doesn't mean Capcom won't make a lot of money reusing assets in the inevitable expansions and portable versions though. It doesn't need to sell ten million to be successful.

It was a reply to a guy that said he though it would only do 2m lifetime sales.
Why I posted it? because I think the "head" of Famitsu, knows better than some random user on this site.
If he think it has the potential to reach 10m, its def. going to go over 2m..... people proclaiming doom & gloom for MHW are nuts.
the Pre-orders and Beta try-outs have gone really well.
"Either way, ten million is a ridiculous prediction for a single Monster Hunter game, and I don't even know why you'd post it"
So your argueing with me for no reason at all? just because?
it was kinda obvious it was a reply to a guy that made a ridiculous low prediction.
Also I believe saying Potential to reach 10m, is less crazy than saying it ll only do 2m lifetime.
Again this is from Famitsu.
