I think DmC will easily hit 2 million.
Btw, why is 'm' not capitalized in 'DmC' now?

DmC not gonna hit 2 million. Maybe if it had 10 years on the shelves. No, not even.
Honestly, as a Dark/Demon's Soul player: speak for yourself. I always found it to be a crappy Capcom attempt on cashing in on From/Atlus' success with Demon's Souls and playing the demo just justified that feeling. It's competent, but not fun like those two. So I'm passing, myself. If it finds success, great, but I won't get it until it's cheap.
To differentiate it from the main DMC series. This is a parallel/alternate universe game, the events in this game have no relation to the main series.I think DmC will easily hit 2 million.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. They will play it in some way but I don't think people who legitimately hate the game will drop $60 on the game day 1.Even the people who criticize DmC now,will run and buy it on day one when it comes out.
I think DD and RE6 will sell more.
DD will reach those numbers easily.
I think you (and many others) may just be surprised. It will easily hit that target.
This. DmC and LP3 are gonna tank I think. Well, maybe that's harsh, but they've got really ugly buzz atm.
LP3 is surprisingly good as well. Just wait for May 25th when the embargo lifts and previews pop up. Everyone I know was freaking out when he saw the game and had the chance to play it
They all sound quite plausible.

Preview on what event? Something in San Mateo in the last few days, by any chance?
I think you're really underestimating how much a lot of people vested in the DMC series dislike the new game. It's not like Mass Effect or Resident Evil, where they'll go in a different direction and people will still buy it. The key here is not DMC vets. The key question is, how many new people is DmC going to appeal to, because that's the target audience.
I do wonder how things are going to go down in Japan. You might get some curious players to buy in. However, the same fangirls who historically bought DMC games and merchandise simply because they loved their platinum-haired bishies have definitely NOT been happy with the new direction. And this is an example of the fan base that is as "casual, don't care about high-level play" as you can get! :lol
Ninja Gaiden 3 has a sword and is relatively responsive, and that sold like shit.
It wasn't though. It was filled with uncontrollable lock-on issues, and innumerable quick time events DURING fights. Also, Ninja Gaiden III was reviewed horribly. For whatever reason, Ninja Theory is a critical darling, and DmC is going to review extremely well (even if just to slight the DMC fanbase. Game "journalists" love to slight long-time fans of any series)
I agree that most gaming journalists overrate Ninja Theory games, but that was only enough to have their last two games averaging 80 on MetaCritic.
This practice has been slowly but surely catching up with Capcom. Retailer confidence seems to slip a little more with each release.DmC will hit that 2million shipped easily. They'll probably ship 3/4 of it opening week due to how well DMC4 did(Some 2.7million sold). Shipped numbers this gen really don't seem to mean as much with how it works. Massive starting shipments than bomba in a month.
After the PR shitstorm that was DmC's reveal trailer, game journalists have been defending the game non-stop, even before we saw any real gameplay footage. They refuse to ask difficult questions in interviews, and preface their discussions by finger pointing at the fanbase. The fact that hardcore fans hate the new direction means that video game media outlets are going to pad their numbers even more to try and compensate- mark my words.
the main problem is that fans are complaining about the game altough they haven't seen almost anything. I just can repeat myself, I really hope Capcom will release a demo so everybody has a chance to judge for their own.

Can't wait for that day.the main problem is that fans are complaining about the game altough they haven't seen almost anything. I just can repeat myself, I really hope Capcom will release a demo so everybody has a chance to judge for their own.

Me either. If even the darling Bayonetta wasn't immune from critique when her demo arrived on the scene, I can only imagine what would happen once DmC's finally (if ever) drops.
It would be really ballsy of NT to release a demo for the game more than a week before the launch. I would respect it but it would still be risky for them.
Well at least we know theres a new Onimusha in the works.

Eh, you've gotta look at this from a difference perspective. With a studio like Platinum and with Hideki Kamiya at the helm, expectations were at an all time high with Bayonetta. Expectations are really really low for Ninja Theory, which works in their favor when it comes to critique time.
I think it has a decent chance, yes. Maybe not the 1.5, but over 800,000 copies doesn't seem unrealistic.
"Capcpom to beef up DLC sales" is not an idea I like. What Capcpom has done thus far is rip out substantial content (12 characters in SFxT, the *ending* in Asura's Wrath) and then in SFxT's case add in an entire system catered to paying to win (DLC Gems in SFxT).
With SFxT, disk locked content was just one of about seventeen thousand things Capcom buggered up with that game. DLC for that game will sell horribly - nobody wants an extra twelve fighters in a (very) crappy fighting game. What they want is overpowered gems so they can troll online. Capcpom's facilitating that, at least.
As a rule I now refuse to buy any Capcpom game until the DLC plans have been announced.
