Japan has about 16 million DS units and could have almost 20 million by the end of this year if sales hold. By comparison, DQ VII sold 3 million with 21 million Playstations and DQ VIII sold 3.6 million with 24 million PS2s. If the attachment rate holds, this game could easily pass 3 million copies in Japan alone. And VII had another 1 million sales outside of Japan.
If this game merely does as wel as VIII, it's underpriced by about 150 DKP. This could be the sort of title that goes way under the radar on an America-centric site such as this. If the IPO price holds, STRONG buy.
