How come "disappointing" ?
891,000 games sold in about one month is quite impressive imo.

And what is the chance for another 900k units in Japan?

Well then how is 900K copies of GT4 sold in one month, compared to less than 2 million GT2/3 copies in thier whole life, disappointing?

Errm, if DQ8 just sold 3.5M in Japan alone, and many other games go over the 3M sold units in Japan alone, i'm guessing it is safe to say GT4 will sell a lot more than it has so far.

Many games in Japan in this generation? (FFX - 2.74M, FFX2 - 2.05M)
DQ8 sold 2.1M in Japan in the first two days. It drops heavily like almost all titles in Japan...

Cumulative Production Shipments of Software Titles (as of September 30, 2004)
Japan: Approximately 142 million units (PS2)

Almost the same timeframe. (And less competition in this generation.)
