This really does make you wonder about the naysayers on Amazon Japan.

FF XII received a 40/40 from Famitsu aswell and sold considerably less then many of the previous iterations

Somehow I don't think Dragon Quest IX's sales are going to be moved by either of these sources.

Amazon, no.  Famitsu, yes.  Games in the past have become popular in Japan based on simply getting a positive score in Famitsu.  While Dragon Quest is already popular, the game could sell more copies just because it got a perfect score in Famitsu.

I doubt it will move that many more copies than it would have had it gotten a 37/40 and drop it too far it the review hurts Famitsu's credibility more than DQ9's.  So yeah, I still don't see either making a big difference.
