Two things spring to mind;

1: How many units has FFXII sold lately? Its a rather old PS2 title after all (funny enough though, it appears to have sold exactly 5.7 million ).

2: I did not realize that FFXIII on the 360 had sold this poorly (1.5 million is hardly poor for a game but its damn near atrocious for a FF title).

i've heard that FF13 on the 360 has been hit hard by piracy. apparantly illegally downloaded 2.5 mil times. but i doubt that means those 2.5 mil people would've bought the game. i think sales of FF13 would be over 6mil, if it wasnt for piracy, and it would be about 2mil on the 360.

still the sales have been disappointing considering its rumoured that microsoft gave SE 75mil for marketing. but yeah, hopefully DQ9 outsells FF13.

No way. Not at all. No.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the PS3 version of FFXIII alone be above DQIX when all is said and done.


DQIX is already ahead of the PS3 FFXIII version by 440k.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

I don't see why people would pick FFXIII game to pirate. It would take a ridiculous amount of time to download.

DQIX would seem a far more likely candidate to be pirated. The DS is easily hacked and the size is not an issue.

I hope so, DQ IX is one of the greatest RPGs I played this gen, I'm 45 hours into it and still it's full of things I want to do. Probably won't because of US sales, in EU it's doing great!



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

Yeah, that makes sense. I really have no idea how many have pirated FFXIII but I imagine that even more have pirated DQIX, there are also emulators you can play it on, possibly stealing even more sales.

Highly unlikely because it would have to have massive legs in the west to close the gap.

Then FFXIII still has a platinum edition, international edition in Japan.

International editions in Japan took FFX from 2.2 Million (original saleS) to 2.9 Million

They took FFX-2 from 1.9 Million (where FFXIII is near now) to 2.3 Million

FFXII's international edition in comparison sold like 150K.

As each 100K is added it gets harder for DQIX to catch up.

By the end of the gen it is likely FFXIII will be around 6.5 Million after platinum editions and so on, I don't see DQIX getting much over 5.3 Million in the long run. 

So its unlikely and I don't think it deserves to outsell it either.

A better question would be, will Dragon Quest IX outsell Final Fantasy IX.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

So?

I said when all is said and done. Not right now.

I agree with Grimes. DQ IX has a better chance at outlegging FF XIII than the PS3 version does of passing it.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
