Not a huge difference. Doubled numbers, but not more.

0 impact... or less

You think it'll make people who already have Wii U's return them out of disgust or what? XD

At any rate...I don't think this is going to be that big a deal. If this had been the only version, it'd be one thing, but this is one case where BC may have done far more harm than good. Both versions of the game are probably going to end up cannibalizing each other.

The same the other ports ha e done for it. Although it will be nice to have this game push 1 million units total. Cross platform play?

Something like 50-100k FW and a 10k boost at most (for a week)

Yeah it does have cross platform play.

I think this game is going to help Nintendo get back on track in Japan and should help them bring up console sales. I mean this combined with MH is a good combination for a new console and will probably help push a few people over that hump, especially if they do a bundle of it which they probably will. And hell MH sold 200k and those games dont tend to do to well on consoles. DQ games are mainly console centered so I can see this doing at least double that.

It was....released on the dying Wii. Maybe the upgraded WiU version will make a difference.

Japan disappoints me. Dragon Quest V is a masterpiece. If the DS remakes are anything to go by, DQIV and VI are two of the most overrated games in existance.

Actually, that was my bad. The PS2 remake sold 1.65 million. The SNES version sold 2.79 million. If you total them all up (plus the DS version) its over 6 million. :)
