Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Predict Dragon Quest IX first day & first week sales in Japan

when is it coming out?



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

Around the Network

Seeing that the remake sold what 600k on open, I would say that it will sell 1.8 million first week, 3x that of the remake. It is open on the Largest user base in Japanese history(DS is passing PS2 next week) and will have a decent price of 34.99 or 39.99. I really don't see huge legs, maybe 300k second week then 150 and so on... might sell 4 million LTD. Maybe this one will catch on in US and in Europe and sell 8mil WW.

2.3 million first week sales I would bet. I could see as high as 2.5, but I am trying to be conservative. From that I would guess around a 1-1.25 million first day sales since most games seem to do half their first week first day.

1.5M first day, 2.5M first week...

+/- 750K, heh.

LOL, can't wait till closer to release date?



The Japanese first week sales alone won't beat the the first week sales of Halo.

Day one: 1.2M-1.5M
First week: 2.1M

I figure it will do about 800k first day sales and max out around 1.4 million for first week sales. Depending on the day it comes out though.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Is 700k first day 2M first week too much? Well if I'm over oh-well.
