What a bunch of clowns.
Red Dead Redemption
Had a prequel on PS2 and was from the Company that brought out GTA.

It's nice to want things Capcom, just like I want a localization for AAI2. ;_;
Being an established franchise =/= having a prequel about which people don't know shit and don't care. Also people don't care about who made the game when we talk about people buying something en masse.

10 million?
My thoughts exactly, I mean I can see it selling well, but 10 million?

Well, if it's open world and it's an RPG to boot, I might have to pay closer attention come review time. Those genres are my favorites...and together that would be even better.
I think I ignored it from the initial screens I saw in magazines and that it's from Capcom, who has let me down a bit in recent years. I thought it was more of an action game where you kill dragons and stuff.
Yep. That video pretty much sealed the deal for me. Day 1

I have my copy preordered, I was sold 45 seconds into the announcement trailer. But there's no way it's going to be a huge hit. It should be, but it won't. I just hope it doesn't bomb badly either.

They certainly have given us some good laughs lately.

Okay, I finally watched the Youtube video and I was surprised. Went from off my radar and to a "when the heck does this release!?" May, so I have time to get some Amazon credit just in case the game reviews well.
I think the name sucks, especially for a new IP that hopes to sell a crap ton. Sounds too generic, but whatever.

I'm jumping in to this thread late without reading the whole thing but wasn't the real context of this quote basically one guy saying "Hey it would be awesome if we could sell 10 million units!" as opposed to him saying "Yeah we EXPECT to sell 10 million units."?
If so, why is this thread so long?

I'm afraid (because the game looks great, I will be getting it on day one) nothing can stop Dragon's Dogma from being one of the biggest bombs of this generation.
They can be tremendously pleased if this title manages to sell 250k - 300k units in Japan.
Worldwide I see a million or so shipment that it will take ages to be sold if ever.
What was the last console new IP that managed to sell over 1 million units in Japan?
I'm not sure if it was Onimusha.

Capcpom wants PS3 version to be the 2nd best selling PS3 game in Japan, gives 360 version timed exclusive Resident Evil 6 demo with the game.

The west already rejected Monster Hunter so I don't see any reason to give it a high push, I say the same about Dragon Quest. They will never be mainstream.
That's absolutely untrue. Red Dead Redemption sold a lot because it was an amazing game, but also because it was made by the creators of GTA, and many people pretty much expected a "GTA with cowboys".
I bet the same will happen with whatever next title Bungie releases. The creators of Halo releasing a new game? A lot of people won't really care much about it as far as it even slightly resembles Halo (ie, science fiction theme, shooting around...).
For this game though, not many people in the western really loved Monster Hunter all that much. I think it will mostly sell thanks to word of mouth as soon as it gets released. I will be buying the game because it looks great, though

"be 2nd best selling PS3 in Japan"
Should have put the Resident Evil 6 demo on the PS3 version then.

Monster Hunter is not that similar to Dragon's Dogma.I don't understand why everyone keeps mentioning MonHun.Comparisons with Souls series or hell even a W-RPG are much more accurate.
Also guys chill out.It's not like they are projecting 10m sales.Itsuno said he would like to.Every developer would like his game to sell 10m it has nothing to do with how much it will and how much it has to sell.

I didn't say that. In fact I've always said otherwise hence why I like Dragon's Dogma.
I was addressing to a poster that suggested that Capcom maybe should spend the money on getting more Monster Hunter in the west instead of developing Dragon's Dogma.

Oh, then just ignore me.
I agree with you.DD has more chances of success in the west rather than MH and it would be wise for capcom to put their money on the first.But having more chances than MH doesn't mean DD will definitely succeed.

Nah, doesn't matter. Anything that an employee says is considered to be an official line from the company itself; even if Itsuno had said that he wants the game to be bundled with ketamine so that everyone can have an out-of-body experience, that would be considered Capcpom's stance.
The good thing about this line of thinking is that it leaves Itsuno himself free of scrutiny and his reputation intact, which will allow him to glide back into people's good graces when he eventually heads back to helm Devil May Cry 5
and Gaiden. And maybe something based on the novels. And then 6, 7, 8, or however many games Capcom demands to offset the massive costs (and bomba) of Itsuno's dream project.

They would also need to change the name, to something like Dragon's Warfare : Fantasy Ops

That version will also receive the DLC first.

Hadn't heard of Dragon's Dogma until now. After watching the vid on that site, I am very interested.
Hoping for 10 million is borderline insane for a first game in a series. It might be possible, only because we're so far into the generations that there could possibly be 10 million people in the world willing to give this a shot on one of the two platforms it's on. However, that's a huge fucking number of people for a genre that generally doesn't sell like that.
It's nice to have hope though. I just hope they won't be disappointed when it sells 1.2 million.

When was the last time a new IP broke a million in Japan for a single iteration, let alone its first iteration? Monster Hunter? Layton? Inazuma?
It sure as fuck won't happen on PS3.
And I'm loving the use of that Calvin & Hobbes .jpg all over the place.

Damn it, this post was meant for the thread about the sales. Sorry for the unintentional bump.
