Imagine how much Square Enix is looking forward to launching Final Fantasy on the Switch platform

The Switch already has FF 1-12 (minus 11, but plus X-2).  It already looks like SE is eager to put as much Final Fantasy on Nintendo platforms as they can.

1.5 million+ (with digital) for DQ looks a bit low tbh. FF VII remake made 1 million with only physical on the PS4, which was a much less popular system

But I guess it's still just a remake and remakes never sells that well in Japan

Only a new game can push it to 3 million range again I believe

I'm curious to see how much Monster Hunter will sell, in current state of the market is the strongest third party in market along with Dragon Quest

I'd estimate DQ3 is close to 2M at this point (with digital).  I'm looking at previous DS/3DS sales in Japan for remakes on this site:
https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Quest

DQ4 (DS)  2.33M
DQ5 (DS)  2.24M
DQ6 (DS)  2.21M
DQ7 (3DS) 2.07M
DQ8 (3DS) 1.33M

Assuming it's legs hold up, I think DQ3 HD 2D remake is going to outsell all of these previous remakes when you include digital.

2 million sales means a 40% digital ratio. Sounds a bit too much? 

But there is something we are missing here, PC sales. Maybe it's close to 2 million including PC
