Mostly all the genres are covered now, the DS already has a very well rounded and massive user base in Japan. Another model would increase sales but i don't think it would reach that many more gamers, all it would do is making many people who already have a DS get another one. A price cut might would probably push some more people over the edge who are waiting to buy a DS, but I don't expect that to be a big number. DQ9 is gonna sell some systems, but most DQ fans probably already have a DS. Square Enix is already very well represented on DS, and there are other DQ titles although this would be the first main series title. The point is that it has sold so too well and it had to slow down at some point, there is only a limited amount of people willing to play games in a given country. |
Well it needed to slow down sooner or later . The DS was selling way to much . Even the GB+GBC only managed to push 35 million units in 10 years , and since then Japans actual population went down . It will go back fast afther DQ9/pricecut/redesign , but IMO 07 was the peek .
Vote the Mayor for Mayor!
