  An urban legend (sort of) claims that nation wide productivity plummets the day of DQIII's release, with hundreds of thousands of people calling sick, leaving offices without employess and classrooms without students or teachers; supposedly this made the goverment of Japan quietly forbeid Enix of releasing Dragon Quest games on weekdays, crazy.

Reminds me of GTO.

Great data, i always remembered YS and Tales of as bigger series than DQ in Japan, never knew it was only in terms of number of games in the franchise and not sales.

With that said it's kind of sad that DQ9 is has the best sales, with it's chibi design and lack of difficulty attracting casuals. I do hope SE keeps making tons of moneyz out of the franchise though.
