Well DQX is also announced for Wii U. Which will undoubtedly be a better version. So I think it's a fair comparison.

The only thing I'm not sure about is FF11 required an add-on (I think it was a hard-drive?). DQX also requires an add-on I suppose in that it needs extra memory however it's easier to obtain. So that makes things a little less fair but not a million miles out. 


Usually Japanese hardcore gamers don't care about the extra price and add ons, especially for a game like DQ

But back when FFXI was released and announced on the PS2 MMORPGs were not nearly as big as they are now especially in Japan and the few ones that were successful were all on PC.

And yeah I think the game came with the HDD add-on on PS2 and costed like 99$ in NA.

I guess we're going to have to see how the Wii U version fares to see the big picture. I know if I ever get the game it will be on the Wii U and I'm sure a lot of people plan the same.

Maybe it won't do that low numbers, but neither big ones. I'ts released on a dead platform and a new one which hasn't be showed. Maybe in a more active installbase, like 3DS or PS3.

DQX will easily do 500k. Probably 1.5mil LT I reckon.

Lol, no. Even RE6 has more pre-orders.

Wii numbers of DQ X will not matter much.

Wii U numbers on the other hand. Very important for the console. They'll be better, imo, since the system is a god send to MMOs.

I was meaning both versions of the game. The Wii version will make 800k, WiiU 700k.

I thought that the 3DS sales were going to fall completely after the announcement of the 3DS LL. This means that the 3DS sales will explode after the 3DS LL comes out or that people do not care about it.

Still aiming to high. Maybe a million with both versions. Remember that this time doesn't matter the amount of copies sold.

Perhaps. I personally am hoping for those numbers, but won't be disappointed if it's a bit lower.

3DS will have a healthy release of games from now till launch of XL... no risk of freefall, except in the final week before it

Week 1: Etrian Oddysey, Little Battlers Xperience
Week 2: Taiko Drum Master, Time Travelers
Week 3: Rune Factory 4
Week 4: Nothing major, but Kobito Zukan, a game that recently entered comg charts.

Week 5: 3DS XL + Mario + Brain Age.

Will be massive, I expect minimum 200k sales for week 5.

DQX

MMO

Nice Graphics

Unique game

Everything that Japanese gamers enjoy. They are not going to pass up an original DQX game, no matter what the supposed problems are with it. I just hope that someone can find a translated Famitsu review of this game, because I cannot wait for the Western Reviews to come out. This game will be big for the Wii this year. Hopefully it comes out before the Wii U to give the wii a chance to get some sales with it. Interesting that Nintendo has done this twice now. Once with Twiglight Sword, and now with DQX. Putting games on their old system and then putting the same game on their newer system in upgraded form.

But DQX is from SE not Nintendo
