Dragon quest is a MUCH bigger franchise than Xenoblade. You also have no idea what the biggest game for WII U in japan is, it could be SMTXFE for all we know, heck maybe even splatoon. You also seem to be forgetting how many Wiis are out in the wild but oh well.


Wii is almost 10 years old and is no longer sold in Japan, accept it! And this is not a new Dragon Quest, it is just a new episode (or new add-on)! Xenoblade Chronicles X was hyped by everyone. It was Wii U exclusive and it had an exclusiv bundle. And Xenoblade couldn't manage to outsell a new episode of an old game on a 10 years old console (looking at Tsutaya ranking)!!!

Okay, let me tell you something. Did you know the bundle wasn't tracked on this list? Did you know that tsutaya only gives a vauge representation of the software charts? You're also saying the wii isn't sold anymore. Your point? There are still more Wiis out there than Wii Us. And you clearly haven't grasped the selling power of dragon quest. A spin off boosted the near dead ps4 to over 60k and then provided another huge boost at actual sales. I'm not even gonna bother anymore as I know how you are.

Dragon Quest Heroes, a musou spin off, sold 325k FW on a 10 years old machine, Ps3. (230k the ps4 version)

Bloodborne, the new Souls game, the greatest Ps4 game this year, hyped for everyone, marketing everywhere, with a special bundle... sold 150k fw.

Nobody though that was strange, but now, you know, is Nintendo :/

This store also had Battlefield Hardline ahead of Type-0 and OP Pirate Warriors ahead of Bloodborne and look how that turned out on Media Create.

Don't forget, that's Dragon Quest we're talking about. That's about the same as pitting the game against Call of Duty or GTA here in the west, where even a spinoff or a DLC Chapter would probably easely outsell pretty much any other game, too

Disappionted in X ranking

Is behind Puzzles and Dragons and Dragon Quest, did you hear about those games? spoiler: they are 2 of the biggest franchises on Japan.

Also Tsutaya doesn´t track bundles, and the XCX one sold out.

An expansion to the unpopular DQ MMO is not something all that big. Especially when its sales are split between two platforms.

Too many people judging xcx sales before we even know what they are including bundles
