Dragon Quest Heroes is doing great honestly, especially when it's still far off... I hope it does 1m+ across both platforms.


What do you expect first week for both dq on ps3 and ps4?

Great day, but why oh why do you do this to me, Bloodborne?

Look at Smash Bros 3DS go!

At this rate DQH won't have any problems being the best-selling PS4 game to date in Japan



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

That is certainly the expectation. Not sure anything will dethrone it till MGSV maybe?

Hmmm I haven't made up my mind yet... but I think 500k across both is very possible first week.

Too high. 350k FW is my expectation right now.

I don't think it's too high... DQ brand is very strong Japan, and several DQ spin-offs have become million-sellers there over the years. Plus, the brand is also more on the frontloaded side so I would expect a big opening week and relatively-weaker legs. We'll see soon I guess!

Look at DQ Swords. On a more popular system, it did much less than 500k FW. DQH has more going for it in terms of genre, but it's not like DQ = million seller.

Swords is the exception rather than the rule though, considering it was an on-rails motion-control-driven mess. I agree that not every DQ title is a million-seller, but there is genuine hype behind this title, its pre-orders on COMG have been promising so far and, like you said, belongs to a more popular genre. Plus, it has already sold around 50k on PS4 with digital vouchers! That's a fine start.
