| Luck said: So, including digital sales, it's safe to say it sold over 1 million copies; how is that bad for a subscription based MMO released only in Japan ? It's normal for a MMO to sell less than a normal entry in a series, the same happened to FFXI (which is the most profitable game of the franchise). I don't think we can evaluate the success of DQX based on the limited information we have. It seems like very poor judgment to be as certain as you are that the game "bombed all around" and it greatly reduce your credibility on the matter. |
Last time I checked DQ wasn't all that popular on PC so digital sales pretty much have a nil amount of importance and we don't exactly have digital sales figures for the WII U but don't count on it having much weight. It maybe normal MMO to sell less than the main entry but MMO's actually need more revenue than the main entry's to be profitable plus that's SE's fault that it didn't release elsewhere just like how Microsoft screwed up by not releasing the X1 elsewhere either and 1 million is pitiful performance for a franchise that's popular as hell in Japan.
I think we can evaluate the success of DQ X just based on the information we have ... How exactly did it hurt my credibility to say a fact ?
