I think DD and RE6 will sell more.

They're not going to meet those LP3 figures, I reckon.
I feel like DD will sell ~2mln, but yeah, 1.5 seems good for now.
It comes with a RE6 demo, right?
Oh wow, DahBomb was right. They did set the bar at 2 million for DmC.
I think the numbers are a little high for all of them except RE6. I think Dragon's Dogma deserves to sell much more than it will. I wonder how much the demo will push sales. How many other games have pulled the big name early access demo thing? Ninja Gaiden 3 (arguably big), Bulletstorm, Zone of the Enders...

RE5 sold 5 million. It's definitely possible for it to reach that amount.
Oh, I definitely think RE6 has an excellent chance of meeting that goal. I think the other numbers are a bit too high. Realistic, but a smidge too optimistic.
I think it will do really well for that reason first and foremost. I think most people Monster Hunter and Demon's/Dark Souls players are also looking forward to it too, if hype around the internet can be of any indication.
I still feel that 2mln WW is my prediction for DD.
If they release a good demo, they get good press and reviews, and the final product turns out alright, then it'll definitely reach it. If they do like they release a PC version post launch like they did with DMC4, then I can see it going over.
I just hope this puts those '5 Million copies sold' nonsense to rest.

I'm glad they lowered that DD number. It's more reasonable now, but I do hope it sells a lot more than that.
It probably won't 
No.
They.
Didn't.
They were making parallels to other action/adventures games that sold that amount and wanted to eventually see the series reach those sales. They never said they wanted DmC to sell 5 million.
If they're smart, they'd avoid a November release date like the plague, but Capcom has chosen really poor release schedules before. I wouldn't be surprised.

These are FY12 sales only, right? Not lifetime projections? Probably not a massive difference though.
I dunno about RE6. 7M would be pretty gangbusters from October-March. I like the confidence though!

I would buy Dragon's Dogma before any other game on that list, honestly.
Demo was really, really fun.
Demo was really, really fun.
I see it coming out in early 2013.
ORC is probably going to hit 2 mil, and that game looks hideous and Slant Six probably doesn't have as many faithful as NT (too bad since Slant Six made the better Socom game this generation).

It was always that, if your talking about 10 million they hoped that it would. Just like how they wanted COD players to come to ORC

Man, I bet it killed them to decide on that forecast on Dragons Dogma
Didn't that game cost a shitload to make?

What are the sales figures for LP1 & 2?
Are they around the 1.4 they're expecting for 3?

Didn´t Capcom say they wanted to sell 10 million copies of Dragon's Dogma?

Slightly sad that the sales sheet didn't have a stealth announcement of Dragon's Dogma PC.
Lost Planet 1 sold very well, almost 3 million in its lifetime. LP2, did only half that.
This was the big Play.TM quote that had everyone laughing (and rightfully so):
Now, I recall that people were saying that 5 million wasn't the actual goal, but do we have another interview clarifying their statement? I just wasn't sure.
Yes, there was another interview where they clarified it. But I don't remember where that is.

Hm. The first was definitely bolstered by its availability at/near launch. I wonder if we'll see any effective marketing for the third. Not really a game I'm interested in, but would like to see Capcom have some success.
Because NT is cheaper than 150 Japanese Capcom veterans?
DmC being an outsourced game most likely had a smaller budget than dmc4. Its also part of the reason I expect it to come out sooner rather than later.

DmC is getting nowhere near that benchmark, didn't DMC4 barely surpass that?

Whats the opinion on this(lesser I guess) figure? More on disc dlc shannigans to come?
I imagine they have a LOT of DLC additions for every game, especially RE6. I think they're also anticipating that already announced, but not yet released stuff like the SFxT characters will generate a lot of income.

7 million eh....Wii U sku confirmed?

Due to the questionable PR work NT and Capcom have done, it would either go at that mark or not close to 2 Million...

DmC not gonna hit 2 million. Maybe if it had 10 years on the shelves. No, not even.

Make half hassed games, sell less, ruin any good will left, and try to extort what you can to whomever will take it. In essense they're lossing billions of yen more by going this route, but foresight is an ability that so few have in this industry and it's especially lost on Capcom.
