Devil May Cry is a very popular gaming series. Director and Managing Corporate Officer, Kazuhiko Abe, predicts that Devil May Cry 4 will sell over 1.8 million copies worldwide. This game will come out for the PS3 and XBOX 360.

We all know how popular the Devil May Cry series is, but no installment had to face the competition the fourth DMC will face this fall. Still, that hasn't stopped Capcom from thinking optimistically...very optimistically.

During Capcom's 2007 Fiscal Year results meeting, Director and Managing Corporate Officer, Kazuhiko Abe, predicted that Devil May Cry 4 will sell 1.8 million copies worldwide. Now, that's a big number. How big? Well, they expect the recently released Resident Evil 4 for the Wii to sell 420,000 copies and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles to sell 620,000 units. Clearly, Capcom is banking on huge success from Dante and Co. this time around, so the only question is, will gamers respond?

Well, it's not impossible. Even the mediocre DMC 2 managed to sell over a million copies, and the first and third entries easily topped the mark as well. Besides, with Devil May Cry 4 hitting both the PS3 and Xbox 360 - the first installment in the franchise that's multiplatform - that should certainly ramp up the sales. Let's just hope the game is as great as we're all expecting it to be...

    Probably because they are heavily optimised for the next gen consoles, a PC version will probably be made but it can't just be a straight port.

    1.8 mill is a good estimate, I think. Such an anticipated game available to the combined number of Xbox360 and PS3 owners, probably at least 20 million combined by release of this game, should reach this goal easily.

    QFT. I'm not doubting it may sell a lot of copies but it's gonna have some stiff competition for sure.

    I'll most likely buy one eventually but that is a good estimate as well.
