DQIX was also an original title while DQVII is a remake. Doesn't matter tho, Jay thought us that it's all about them expectation and they have been surpassed, which means success.

Oh boy, here we go. I'm legitimate curious about your reasoning. Is your intention to always play down anything that seems to be a good thing for Nintendo?

Edit: I'll just add the roman numbers from 1 to 10, it may give you a hint. I - II - III - IV - V - VI - VII - VIII - IX - X, as you may notice VII comes before IX, or X, suggesting that Dragon Quest VII is indeed a remake.

In other words it did quite well.

Looks to the top to see Animal Crossing. Sees at number 2 and is satisfied enough to leave thread.

Wait and see... the price cut and big released will put PS3 onver last year.

And for me DQVII sales are good but not over expectation... it did a little below what I expected.

Not sure if serious,.... you were expecting it to sell like a mainline game for gods sake!

?

PS3 sold 1.2m last year... it's already near 200k by MC... just 1 million in a little over 10 months... some games will push some weeks over 40k... so I'm sure it will sell close 1.2 million again this year.

And thats relevant to your incredibly innacurate expectations of DQ VII, because.........?

I'm almost, almost disappointed by what's happened in this thread. Almost.

Lets face some pretty simple facts here. The DQ launch is damn good, largest for any 3DS game, even. Sure, it's not in the millions, but the shipments weren't there for that, and clearly SE are very happy with it, as are we. No need to downplay it or suggest it's below expectations when you never made one.

And the PS4 argument is getting ridiculous now. The WiiU is selling poorly, and it wouldn't be impossible for the PS4 to outsell it. But we still no nothing concrete on it, so in a week or so perhaps we could begin to draw comparisons.

It's a shame to see the 3DS' success this week overshadowed.

Selling over 800k for a remake = underperform?

I'm baffled.
