800k sales of course is good but a bit disappointing for a DQ game... the first time I see a DQ games (no MMO) selling less than 1.5 million in first week.

Is it a remake?


Here are comparisons with other DQ remakes (FW / LTD):

[SFC] Dragon Quest I & II (Enix) {1993.12.18} - ? / 1.200.000
[SFC] Dragon Quest III Soshite Densetsu e… (Enix) {1996.12.02} - 409.082 / 1.010.989
[GBC] Dragon Quest I & II (Enix) {1999.09.20} - 269.937 / 763.760
[GBC] Dragon Quest III (Enix) {2000.12.04} - 154.143 / 637.749
[PSX] Dragon Quest IV Michibikareshi Monotachi (Enix) {2001.11.19} - 620.802 / 1.173.671
[PS2] Dragon Quest V (Square Enix) {2004.03.25} - 1.048.925 / 1.611.974
[NDS] Dragon Quest IV (Square Enix) {2007.11.22} - 601.737 / 1.214.610
[NDS] Dragon Quest V (Square Enix) {2008.07.17} - 679.442 / 1.190.404
[NDS] Dragon Quest VI (Square Enix) {2010.01.28} - 909.981 / 1.297.344
[3DS] Dragon Quest VII (Square Enix) {2013.02.07} - 836.654 / 836.654

It seems that it performed above average compared to some others. Good for it!

lol, People these days! This game will end up over 2mil lifetime easy! Next week will be a mil and continue to sell! 


You think it's going to sell 400k more than the highest selling DQ remake on DS 'easy'?

If any game from the series can do it, it's this one (was insanely popular on the PS1).  I still think it's an uphill struggle, though.  Will be interesting to track how it does, anyway.



(my guesses) First 3 days = at least 800k (then include digital)>>> 2nd week 300k (full week)>>> 3rd 150k>>> 4th 85k>>> continue for about 5th week intill 10th week 50-70k! That just in the first 10 weeks should be over 1.60mil (including digital)! just my opinion

Indeed, not bad when you consider the 3DS has a smaller install base than the 5-6 remakes as well. Though this was always going to be a big title, but not this big.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

DQVII is a beast.

They WILL announce DQVIII eventually for 3DS in the future which will more than likely be higher in sales than this.

I just hope it comes out in the west :(

DQVIII wouldn't do near as well as DQVII for very obvious reasons.

Edit: Wow, this second page is a messy slap fight. DQ7 did very well, it was set up to suceed. It's a perfect time for it to be made and released.

Not to rain on your parade but DQ tend to have front loaded sales much like Pokemon. They usually have a 60-75% drop-off in its second week o_o

Haven't played VII, but yes, VIII was a pretty boring game.

That aside, it wouldn't be any improvement at all. It's more intensive that Tales of the Abyss, which wasn't worth buying on the 3DS. Remakes are worth buying if they improve on the original, otherwise, it isn't much of a remake.

The lowest prediction is 2m by year's end. That's unbelievable. On what basis were those predictions made?

Oh wait, drugs.



lmao! I guess your clean and every name on that list is on drugs right? Can i put you down on it as 900k? So then next year 1st day we can see who is on drugs lol

Sure, put me down for 900k, if that is what I said. Nobody is going to be closer to the actual figure than me.



not sure if i ask but how about pokemon x/y? how much will that sell by years end? Want to hear your answer and see how much im on drugs!!!

Without doing any research, I'll go with 8.88m.



thats fair enough (even though too low for my standards) why dont you predict in all of the threads i made. Here is the database ... (with links to each game) http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=153373&page=1 . i got your LM dark moon prediction in. Why not share your wisdom with every other game
