Well you don't get the point. I'm not saying DQIX will outsell both versions of FFXIII LTD, just that it has better legs. A DQ game that has better legs than a FF game in the West is something very unusual and that you can't denied. It shows that FF franchise is becoming less popular (at least not at the same level as FFVII nor FFX) while the DQ one is becoming more popular (best selling game in the series!). Also, you won't find this game in a bargain bin. And yes 7k is definitely ''quite a margin'' considering we are talking about JRPG's legs. So in the end if we have to be ''amazed'' by the sales of a JRPG this gen, it should definitely be by DQIX, not FFXIII. |
What is your point then? DQ is getting more popular? So what, did you not read the thread title...this isn't a Dragon Quest Sales analysis thread.
1. Dragon Quest IX has been marketed heavily in the West with the UK still getting TV ads months after its launch unlike previous Dragon Quest's....you choose to conveniently ignore this....of course it will show better legs than a front loaded series like FF.
2. 7 K this week...last Week FF13 outsold it by 3K and it had been doing for many weeks....now due to 1 week suddenly DQIX is showing better legs. Riiiiiight.
3. Who is saying you have to be "amazed" by anything...no-one did.......you came into this thread and started talking about DQIX which has nothing to do with the topic at all. Talking about DQIX sales won't make FFXIII's sales seem any less good...nor will a vice versa comparison.....look up the word co-existence.
And Dragon Quest IX is in the bargain bin at my local GAME, so is FFXIII (360)...not FFXIII (Ps3) though.
