Don't mean to interfere, but just a bit that I am aware of. So, while VGChartz has moved to updating their database with official shipped numbers, before they did this they did have their regional estimates. By which at that time they had breakdowns of sales of Dragon Quests 8 and 9. Both were around 500~600K+ for NA and EU each. I don't know if the way back machine will have these cached web pages but I do remember those estimates. It was estimated that Dragon Quest IX sold 4.3M Units in Japan and 5.5M overall. That leaves 1.2M overseas including NA, EU, and the rest of Asia. Because the rest of asia is not known for their Nintendo handheld or console sales, we are inclined to think that the western markets took up the bulk of these sales. The only credible US and EU numbers point to 1.02M. So based on the information we have yes, it's not at 1.4 or 1.5M. 1.2M seems the be the number which is what VGC had in its estimates before they went strictly shipped without regional breakdowns. |
I definitely agree. What I could find for DQIX was comments saying it was just over a million. That 1.02-1.2M sounds about right to me.
And yes, VGC is absolutely moving towards officlal shipped numbers! So if anyone has access or links to any of those numbers, I'm doubly interested because I can get that page updated with the correct numbers
