Cool looking game, but nothing can stop Nintendomination in Japan. I mean Nintendo has such a monopoly in Japan in the gaming market right now, that even Square Enix software is struggling. Quite a grapplehold Nintendo has right there now which is both great for them, and bad for anyone else.

 

Not really. Seeing as how DQS--an on-rails DQ spin-off--has sold 500k+ units, AND has outsold EVERY PS3 AND 360 game released there.

I disagree with that.  DQ and FF are huge brandnames in Japan, and I think Square simply releasing them under that could push 750k with all games under it.  Especially on DS.  DS is where you've been seeing a lot of Square Enix games underperform.  Really given the userbase of DS in Japan and Square Enix's popular brand appeal to the Japanese base, I think ever DQ and FF game on the DS should go platinum in Japan alone.  At least this would have happened until Nintendo obtained such a huge dominance.  Now its the other way around.
