Some of you are really nuts. 1 handheld game to some how out hype out do FF13 and FF13Versus, what are you on ?

It's not just any handheld game, it's Dragon Quest 9, the sequel to the best selling series in Japan. As Bodhesatva has pointed out in another thread only 3 games ever in Japan managed to outsell a Dragon Quest game of the main series (Super Mario Bros, SMB3, Super Mario Kart).

Also, DQ9 is coming for a platform that is hot (DS), while FF13 and Vs. are coming to a platform that is not (PS3).

What are you talking about Rol? Dragon Quest is not the best selling series in Japan. How could you put such a ridiculous claim on a website where the sales figures are accessible with a single click? Even it's number 2 spot is contentious, it only really makes it due to the volume of games sold. Final Fantasy doesn't even get a place.

The number one selling franchise in Japan is clearly Pokemon:

And of course, this goes to show that 1 handheld game could EASILY outhype FF13 and FF13Versus. If that handheld game was Pokemon. Dragon Quest IX will only SLIGHTLY outhype FF13 and FF13Versus.
