Horrible for mainline DQ, it probably won't cross 600k.

It's an MMO.  Doesn't matter if it's DQ. 

Let me ask you this:  Was Final Fantasy XI a flop?



[PS2] Final Fantasy X (Square) {2001-07-19} - 1,749,737
[PS2] Final Fantasy XI (Square) {2002-05-16} - 63,958
[PS2] Final Fantasy XII (Square Enix) {2006-03-16} - 1,840,397

[PS2] Dragon Quest VIII (Square Enix) {2004-11-27} - 2,236,881
[NDS] Dragon Quest IX: Defenders of the Starry Sky (Square Enix) {2009-07-11} - 2,343,440
[WII] Dragon Quest X: Mezameshi Itsutsu no Shuzoku Online (Square Enix) {2012.08.02} - 420.311

Well, I think that's at least good. Could be better, but it's a wii game we're talking. Thing is deader than dead there.



- The disparity between Famitsu and Media Create is a little disturbing.  I hope the latter isn't trolling us!

- Looks like Wii numbers are much higher than expected.

- NSMB2 still going strong.  I think it's safe to say it'll cross a million in retail copies and I'm almost convinced that this game did remarkably well through the eShop and via in-store vouchers.

- 3DS is a beast.  3DSLL and Mario keep to the juggernaut moving at a brisk pace. 

 

BTW, what's the next big release for the 3DS in Japan?

I agree! They are all bombas because none of those games could even reach New Super Mario Bomba 2's fw numbers. We should dig a hole and throw all those failures in it because they suck more than E.T.!



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Will Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry reach a million units?



Man, if Wii has a least some decent weeks for now it'll pass Vita's YTD numbers!

That's... disturbing as the console literally has no more games coming for it - DQX was the very last - or in other words is dead

That's amazing actually.  420k is a great number for an MMO, on a dead system, with a fully functional HD release just on the horizon.  Nobody can really say anything bad about DQX launch.

SE shipped 630,000 copies of FFXIV but they still lose money. :/



FFIX is over ten years old guys. It was the first MMO on consoles and a PC version was already announced.

And MMOs weren't quite as popular back then.

They really can't be compared.
