You can see why everyone naturally expects big things from it, even on PS4's currently small install base.

But it's still not a dragon quest, we need to wait to know how mch it will sell. could be either a success or a failure.

Game is practically a lock for 500k. The Musou fanbase is on playstation and DQ is one of the most popular IPs in Japan. It's got a lot going for it.
