Pokemon, and Yokai, are Handheld games so this is another Market, Dragon Quest, sell and aways sold Close or even more than Final Fantasy, so this is not any News and you are Using Data from What ? Final Fantasy, dont have a Main game for over 7 Years, try to Compare the Playstation 4, sales of the next Main Dragon Quest, with the next Main Final Fantasy. |
I prefer looking at this in a more objective way, so there is no way I´ll follow some PS centric logic which defies reality.
Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are quite established and old RPG IPs in Japan. In fact both were created back in the NES/Famicom days and are still relevant to this day.
Be it on
NES/Famicom
SNES/SuperFamicom
Playstation
Playstation 2
Dragon Quest had on the listed systems/generation always the highest selling entry of the two IPs in the same generation in Japan. Last generation both IPs didn´t have for the first time an entry on the same system. Anyway, the result ended up beeing the same, last gen Dragon Quest had again the better selling entry compared to Final Fantasy. With DQ9 actually beeing the most successful Dragon Quest game ever, while FF13 ended up to be one of the weaker new entries of the main series in Japan, since PS1 mainly thanks to PS3.
DQ11 will again lead to the same result, as in having the highest selling new entry compared to Final Fantasy in this generation, maybe not the PS4 version, because unlike FF15 it´s actually also available on a not dead system like XBone (when it comes to Japan), but most likely the 3DS version that will surely absorb the majority of the interest in DQ11.
