Regarding DQ swords, I think most people don't know that there was already a similar game released which featured similar gameplay as the Wii game has. Unfortunately, vgchartz doesn't have this game in its database, but I doubt that it was a big seller. I don't expect DQ swords to sell well either, though certainly better than Kenshin.

Yup and the sales were not that good. It has to be noted though tht that game was not a console game but more of a stand alone game which will usually sell worse because you actually have to hookit up to your TV seperately.

If it had been an attachment to the PS1 or PS2 it would of sold better and it will sell better because it will use the native controller for the Wii.

A nunchuck and wii mote is less space consuming than a large shield and sword. the memory card was pretty big too for space constrained Japan.

A lot of people over look this but one of the Wiis biggest advantages in Japan is its size. In the US size is unimportant.


Guys
Dragon Quest Kinshin which is similar to DQ swords released in japan and sold over 500k copies.

What do you mean it didnt sell well lol. It was a little toy sword you hooked into your TV and played the game with. 500k is massive for that type of game. Are you guys sure you arent talking about something else? Because referencing this game is a bad bad way to sat DQ:S on the Wii wont sell well. Its on the hottest console in Japan right now and will likely be bundled. If DQ:S sells 500k alone in Japan that would be crazy good. Would make it the best selling next gen 3rd party game in Japan.

 

You all must be thinking of something else.
