Producer Hideaki Itsuno had rather ambitiously said he envisions Dragon's Dogma selling 10 million units nationwide. We can't see that happening anytime soon but, as for his prediction of the title selling at least a million units in Japan, seems a more believable figure judging by the commercial performance in the region thus far.
