2 Things,

Dragon Quest Monsters: Battle Road Victory won't sell 1 million
Kirby might not even exist.

The rest is good, but GT5 might not hit 1 million.

DQM's iffy, but the arcade game is HUGE (200m cards sold).  I'd also say Galaxy 2, GT5 and Versus are each iffy too tbh, I could see each of them stalling out around 700-900k.

And yeah, Kirby's possible vaporware.  If it happens, I can see a million though, especially if it's multiplayer.

I'd add in Monster Hunter 4, FFXV & The Last Story (Prays for it to happen)

The Last Story will be interesting... a million would be huge, but honestly I'm thinking best case even is probably half that.  It's early though, who knows how it'll actually do.

I also kinda wonder how much better Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey could've done as PS3 or Wii games...

DQS:tMQatToM sold half a million in Japan. If they include find some way to ride the DQX hype for DQM:BRW, such as a DQX demo then it could easily hit a million.

 

KH3 might hit a million

 

As for FFXIV selling a million, isn't it essential the sequel to this 150k seller http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=761&region=Japan

Seriously. Seems hard to believe that Mistwalker made a good decision passing up the opportunity to actually build a loyal following on the PS3/Wii in exchange for some Microsoft cash.

With a DQX demo yes, but DQX has never been shown to the public, I doubt it will be ready to be shown by then.

darth said FFXV, not FFXIV.

tag - "I wouldn't trust gamespot, even if it was a live comparison."

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

So surely that qualifies it as a 'contender' which is what the OP said

 

Also, reading comprehension wtf. Although I'm not expecdting FFXV any time soon - but again, contender not require certainty

Sicne then lot more Wii's have been bought and NSMBWii has created many Mario fans that now own a Wii so I expetc Mario galaxy 2 to hit 1 Million too in the future.

I believe so too.  I think NSMBWii fans might just give this one a run, pushing it to the million mark as well.  Or, it could go the way Rol is saying, but I think the former is more plausible at the moment.

Blue Dragon was basically like creating the magic of DQ

With Lost Oddessy the aim was FF

That seemed like their plan.

Well if LO was multiplat it would be over 1 Millions worldwide easily....amazing for a non FF/KH JRPG.....yeah I know SO/Tales made it to that mark once..but it seems like they were "one trick ponies" for them.

Blue Dragon....I think the game was seen as "mediocre"....so I dunno how far it could have gone.

I hope with The Last Story they atleast get enough sales to start a new franchise....they can then continue to build on from there.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I would love to see The Last Story be good enough to spawn a franchise. Hell, if it's good enough I might even buy a Wii to play it (though only if I can use a GameCube controller - fuck dangling a controller from the Wiimote).

But Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey haven't exactly filled me with hope.

If Galaxy1 has managed to sell over 1 million, I don't see why the 2nd shouldn't.
