One more thing : My current networth could very well be only 4 Million DKP, but it could be significantly increased by the time of FFXIV release (should be 2010 or later).
One more thing : FFXIV on Wii 2 (or whatever the next Nintendo console are called) does not count. It has to be on Wii. Wii HD only release also does not count, but Wii release that could be played on Wii 2 or Wii HD count.[ Contributor ] [ Level 10 ] [ Rank: 847 ]bids

Ok. Let's do the bet. Since you refused the 10% Networth, how about this alternative : 100 bid.
The loser will upbid the winner's article 50 times, while the winner will downbid the loser's article 50 times. We are talking about article here, not normal post.
To clarify : I am talking about FFXIV as main line game, not side-game. So if there was ever side-game like FFXIV:Revenant Wing (like FFXII:Revenant Wing on DS), or FFCC:FFXIV history, it does not count as FFXIV Wii.

Yea 800k is the target for it.
When i was over there they were planning on a European and Japanese release but i know they weren't expecting very high numbers, as they shouldn't, NERF is tiny outside of America.
@apujanata,
Yea i think i'm still in with a better than good shout, and i'd double the bet right now if given the oppurtunity. As im English, when i made the bet the exchange rate was at $2-£1 now its more like $1.5-£1, so the original potential winnings were £1000 but now its almost £1400, but on the flipside i could have to pay and extra £20 or so. :o ;-)
Although i might wait until the interest rate over here drops a little more before exchanging so could get even more. :-)[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

Interesting numbers there for Nerf. I thought 800k was the agreed upon number? If so apujanata's right and there's still a long way to go for you to lose, especially when this is a US only release.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 4 ]bids

Yeah, Wii game are like Freddie Krueger (spelling?). You have to be careful, otherwise it will raise from dead. Just like Wii Music did, and NERF did.
Having said that, I think your winning chance is still high (it is 750K GLS, right ?), but not as high as it was before (99.9999%) :). Heck, worse come to worse, you only lose $100, which is what, 10 meals or 5 meals in US ?[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Lol, I don't think he has that much to gamble.
That said, NERF seems to be picking up quite alot according to VGC, 70k sold during the Black Friday week and 140k total now, im getting a little worried about the bet now, he might end up winning it.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids
1zukaus posted on Industry News at 2:57PM PST on December 12, 2008. RE: Confirmed Dragon Quest X Announced for Wii@andip,
LOL, 10% for 10%, nice try. I would not bet 40,000,000 for 400,000, even vGInfidel's uncle wouldn't take that bet.
Unfortunately there's really no way to make a wager like that here on TSE, so it will just have to be a gentleman's wager. Our rep and bragging rights are on the line.
I also doubt that FFXIII would ever be ported to the Wii, so no bet there.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 4 ]bids

I was surprised with the DQ9 on DS announcement, and I was surprised once again with DQ10 on Wii announcement (I thought that DQX will be on DS AGAIN). Looks like DQIX on DS is only because SE didn't want to put them on massively popular but dying PS2, and are waiting for the winner of console wars between Wii and PS3 (December 2006 it is not clear yet who will win the console wars).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

A big win for Nintendo, I wonder where Final Fantasy XIV will end up.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 4 ]bids

Sorry, but we are all limited to bidding once up or down on any one submission, so the terms you suggested are not possible, besides I've already bid you up several times anyways. I want to encourage a little more discussion here so I tend to bid up almost anybody who comments as long as they're not morons.
Regarding vGInfidel's uncle, he's an executive at EA, and he and vGInfidel had a bet going whether the game NERF N-Strike for the Wii would sell 800k copies or more. If it meets or exceeds that number then his uncle wins $100, and if it fails then vGInfidel wins $1000. Pretty good terms if you ask me, either his uncle is extremely confident or pretty wealthy to make bets like that. I just brought up his uncle because your suggestion to bet 10% of our net worth was similarly lop-sided.
