ok then but lets not forget some things

1.dragon quest 7 was released for the psone in 2000 when the ps2 was already released and the psone had sold more than 17mln consoles

2.dragon quest 8 was released for the ps2 in 2004 when the ps2 had already sold around 17mln consoles

3.and now dragon quest 9 launches on ds in 2009 when ds has sold more than 25mln consoles


while i can understand a big boost in sales....i dont see it as a system seller since the series has been released when platforms had already been old and had already sold the majority of their life-time sales................

 

 Right, and MH2G was released for the PSP in 2008 when the PSP had already sold 10 mln consoles (majority of its life-time sales) and it was definitly a system seller.

So yes we can affirm that DQ is a system seller.

I THINK i didnt make myself clear.i am not talking about monster hunter portable releases,i am talking about past home consoles releases of dragon quest games...........also you dont know that 10mln is the majority sales of psp let alone the fact that monster hunter 2g was released 3.5 years after the release of the psp,and dqx will be released almost 5 years AFTER WII LAUNCH!!!thats a difference........

 

Let me give you some facts :

10 mln IS the majority of PSP sales in Japan considering it is obvious that it won't ever reach 20 mln.

MH2G was released 3¼ years after PSP launch as for DQX we don't know when it will be release but 5 years would mean it will release in late 2011 or early 2012 which is hard to believe. Let's say that it will release in late 2010 or early 2011, which is more realistic, that make 4 years after Wii launch. So the difference is only a year...

That said, knowing how huge DQ is in Japan, you must be very naive to believe it won't push HW sales.
