A late release hurt the PS3 version a lot, also I heard that all the marketing budget was spend on the DS version, those things considered I'd say it selling over a third of the DS version in Japan is actually very much acceptable.

Still DQXI will sell more on 3DS in Japan but more on PS4 in the west (if both release in the west)

Oh, I agree with everything you wrote.

I was just saying he probably shouldn't be comparing the two considering he wants it to be a big "exclusive" system seller. There's really never been a situation like the DQXI PS4/3DS release, so it's hard to judge exactly how well each version will do. However, it's no doubt that the very existence of a 3DS version signifcantly hurt the PS4 version's chances of being an enormous system mover along the lines of FFXV.


Dragon Quest does have the benefit of being much bigger in Japan than Final Fantasy. Besides, the PS3 didn't even get a mainline DQ game, so it is a bonus over the PS3 I actually am not sure that FF XV will outsell DQXI PS4 in Japan.
