| Viper1 said: Why will it sell more on DS? Simple. People in all major territories know of DQIX but DQVIII was mostly relegated to Japan. It sold 3.6 million in Japan and another million everywhere else combined. It should easily sell 3 million or more in Japan and given the awareness of the title in the US and Europe now, it's likely it will sell another million a piece there as well. |
Really? Obviously popularity or awareness are extremely hard to gauge, but I find it hard to believe many more people know about the game. On top of that, I don't see this as a game that's going to get heavily marketed outside of Japan.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
