| YesWiiCan said: Dragon Quest is a huge series probably bigger than the Final Fantasy series in Japan. Now Dragon Quest IX just release in Japan and will probably sell like 3 million copies 1st day/week and 15 million LTD. But since the DS has a huge underbase in Japan and probably is like 1 DS per person instead of 1 console per household like Wii. The Wii in Japan is really popular too and I think it will be bundled with a colored Wii just like Monster Hunter 3. So do you think DQX will sell more than DQIX? |
15 million? Even with 3 million 1st week it won't get past 10 million, not even if it's first day. DQ and FF are extremely frontloaded series and first week is usually 60-70% of the total sales in Japan. If DQ IX is as frontloaded as previous part, it wouldn't even get past 5 million (DQ VIII had 2.2 million 1st week, 3.7 million finish in Japan) with 3 million first week.
