DX9 be the highest selling JRPG this gen...


Dragon Quest IX will have astounding sales but I don't think it will generate enough to be the highest selling JRPG of this generation. The reason is that Dragon Quest isn't really that well known outside of Japan. It will probably have a life time range of 4M-5M. I still think FFXIII will be the highest selling JRPG this generation because it is on 2 consoles and it is a world known JRPG series. Not in just one specific region.

I present you the greatest JRPG of all time, and the best selling one in this gen:http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=4022&region=AllThe second place is matter of discussion.

Holy crap. I take back the FFXIII thing. That is some MASSIVE sales. O.o

I always find it funny how we don't think about pokemon when it comes to jrpg discussion. Pokemon has been the reigning champ for generations.

Very impressive first day sales for Dragon quest. Could be over 3 million first week if Sunday is included. Could be one of the best selling Dragon Quest games.

Yes Pokemon is HUGE!

DQIX.. Well that's the biggest video game launch in Japan ever right there.

c'mon guys...are we really shocked??...it DQ the most popular game series under Pokemon? c'mon

Fixed. People don't buy games because of fanbases. No, the availability of people to buy it didn't matter, because there are still far more DS's sold there than the lifetime sales are likely to be (note I wrote "likely").



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Wow, i also found DQ IX first day sales video on youtube too. XD

Well, it's confirmed. DQIX just flopped. Look at the numbers: with 105m DS owners, and not even 3m sales, less than 3% of DS owners bought this title. Put another way, 97% of DS owners REJECTED this title. Anywhere else, a 97% rejection rate would be considered a failure, but Square and Nintendo are trying to put a brave face on and spin this as a success, despite all evidence that, once again, third party games don't sell on Nintendo platforms.

you do realize that DQIX only went on sale in Japan, right?

in that case, only ~ 89% of DS owners IN JAPAN rejeccted this title on day 1, if that's what you trying to say

it's not as bad as you think, Mr. Sarcastic
