Why do people think DQIX will sell monumentally better than VIII?

I'd say there is much more pro FFXIII than anti. But that's beside the point.

Look at it this way:

DQ8 sold 1M out of Japan. 470K in America.
DQ:M:J for DS sold 400K in America. That's the same as DQ8 did there. This should mean that DQ is growing more popular overseas. DQ9 could make 1M in America.


Another thing is that every DQ game increases the base. Every game since 5 has outsell the earlier installment.

The DS DQs also have a bit of legs. DQ IV has had more than 50% sales after first week (and increasing, it still sells 2K+ every week), and Joker had almost 1/3 after first week. Both examples are from Japan.
