| okr said: DQIV DS sold 1.26 million in Japan, even DQM: Joker sold 1.5 million. Zelda: PH sold 0.93 million (I mention Zelda here as the series is not that huge in Japan and the PH sales were quite a surprise). If even spinoffs and remakes of DQ and a new Zelda DS sell one million or more in Japan alone, imagine what the next regular entry of the 2nd biggest Japanese franchise (behind Pokémon) can do. |
I'm imagining 5 million max..... which is obviously great, but not a massive improvement. I could honestly see 5 mill. Japan and 2 million in NA and Others combined. That doesn't beat out FFVII, VIII, or X worldwide. And we have to cut IX and XII some slack since both were released at the very tale end of their systems' respective lives, so they were vastly overshadowed by the oncoming "next gen."
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
