Joker in Japan sold 1.5 million compared to 300 thousand in N/A... DQVIII sold almost 4 million in Japan and between 5-600 thousand in N/A.... DQ Swords sold 500,000 in Japan. So they can't be expecting too much from North America as it is. |
Bingo. You basically summed up everything I was going to say. I don't think Brawl will play too much of a hand in DQS's success or demise. The brand just isn't that popular here, it is a spin-off, and there is little knowledge of it outside of enthusiasts. It could sell well over time, but I don't think anyone is expecting big numbers right out of the gate.
