Bad DQX numbers... the franchise is more popular than FF in Japan.

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


its called deflection

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



They dont need to, you do more than enough to make up for both of them

Too true. If I ever want to know how Vita is deader than dead, I need only to turn to kowenicki.

PS3 sales is ok.

Vita is terrible... PSP is solding more... that's not seems right for Sony.

I do wonder how DQX would have done if it was also released on PC like FFXI. You have to think it'd do well considering PC > PS2 for FF11.

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).

Horrible horrible numbers then, wow.

Don't know why we are comparing an MMO to previous titles. This is actually pretty good for an MMO on the Wii.

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.

That's what wikipedia says. They do mention Phantasy Star Online happened first but it wasn't open-world so it's essentially not a real MMO.

These two are a lost cause... just ignore them!

Listen guys.

You can't compare Dragon Quest X to previous Dragon Quest entries because they aren't MMOs.

And you can't compare Dragon Quest X to other MMOs because they aren't Dragon Quest.

It's as simple as that.

DQX is kind of a first at what it's doing. And as far as I can tell, those sales are definitely at least a good start for the game.

The last big game on the Wii sells very well and boosts a nice amount of hardware.

DQX sales are ok. I think a lot of people are waiting for the Wii U version.

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

It's beating FFXI, which is really the only comparison that can possibly be made here.

Plus SE had to double server capacity, so it's clearly performing past expectations.

And know you that i was alerted to this post because someone reported it. It's not actionable in my opinion, but be wary.
