Dragon Quest IV poised to cause riots, hair-pulling

Uh oh -- a Japanese retailer posted this sign, warning Dragon Quest devotees that supplies of Dragon Quest IV for the DS may be limited. The game, which goes on sale November 22, is likely to be somewhat popular in Japan, and retailer Tsutaya is encouraging people to pre-order as soon as possible, because there's not likely to be enough copies to go around.

This could become serious business; after all, no one wants to see cosplayers fighting it out in the streets. In the meantime, maybe we should start a betting pool on sales predictions ....

I predict it will sell a well-deserved infinity copies, and go down in history as the best-selling game of all time.

I anticipate they will sell all the copies they've made and shipped. How many is that? I dunno.
