Both titles are often compared to know know what franchise is more popular in Japa.So I have taken both of the best selling games in Japan from both franchises.

Now DQ9 on the DS is a monster,it sold very quickly.While on the other hand FF7,the biggest RPG of all time isn't far behind according to VGC sales data.

But FF7 sales were stopped tracking after some time and being the biggest RPG and with the good word of mouth many more copies on FF7 would have have been sold after firms stopped tracking its sales and its selling on PSN too.For DQ9,its selling currently too and sold so many just in a short time and its sales could still increase cause its still in its first year of sales.

So who do you think has sold more till now and will sell more over lifetime?

 

I think FF7 surely cause its been released for a far longer time and the fact that it is still selling on PSN.
