I wonder if Square is paying attention and if they will put an actual DQ game on PS4. It's pretty hard to go past an 18 million install base and put a game on a 1 million install base. But if they can expect a 30% attach rate then once PS4 gets to 3 or 4 million in Japan it's a pretty good bet. How do MC and Famitsu have such a huge discrepancy with 3DS? Does Famitsu only track N3DS? If DQH had been PS4 only I'm sure PS4 would have pushed a lot more hardware. But game sales-wise it was smart to make it cross gen. ~600K first week is huge. |
A 30% attach rate on an install base of 3-4 million would be horrible for a mainline Dragon Quest since they typically sell 3-4 million.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
