It outsold the PS3 version of FF XIV with ease, so where's the problem?

FFXIV deserves no sales after the fiasco in PC... the game needed to be remade to became meh.

I asked him the same thing in a thread the other day.  He didn't answer me.

[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.

Media Create had it at 90k as it is the quoted figure pretty much everywhere else on the internet.

its called deflection

two of the biggest sony fans on the site and they havent even mentioned Vita or the Ps3. 

Hmmm... I think it's a little bit of that, and, assuming you're talking about ethomaz and Turkish, purposely applying different standards to DQX (i.e. not comparing it to MMOs but ordinary entries).  If DQX was on PS3 we'd be hearing all about how it had the best opening week of an MMO and how great suscriptions rates will be in years to come, etc.

The worst selling DQ in Japan sold near 1M in Week 1...  and DQVI is a remake for DS... the main line always sold over 2 million  (yeap... over FF).

So DQX sold like a crap... that's coming from a DQ fan (more than FF).

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.

First MMO on consoles? Nope.avi.
