While I would rather it was the core series, I am glad to see Warriors games doing well


I'm no longer sure what is a core series Warriors game... Is it those that end with "Warriors" (Dynasty, Samurai, Gundam, Hyrule, One Piece), or is it just Dynasty? Or is it Dynasty and Samurai?

Well I mean the original ones (so Dynasty and Samurai), rather than those based on other existing IP (the rest).


Okay, makes sense.

Amazing for a spin-off!

Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

This is really impressive, especially for a spin-off. I wonder how much Dragon Quest XI will sell on the PS4 now seeing how successful this game was. Even though Dragon Quest XI isn't going on PS3, I'm sure it can surpass this with the PS4 sales alone.

That wouldn't be the reason. 

The reason it's PS3 and PS4 in Japan is because PS3 still selling software. 

In North America the PS3 is dead and so not worth releasing it there, that's why it's PS4 only because sales won;t be different if they release on PS3. 

 

The reason it won't hit 1m in NA is because the game is a niche. I'll be surprised if it sells 200k there.

It's not like that's a 1 million guarantee in Japan. Just look at the DQ Monster 3DS games. Not one has cracked a million.

Otherwise, yay. I can see this game managing around 300k in the rest of the world. Maybe more since it's more action oriented. If it does really, really well, I could see it managing an additional 450k or so globally.

They're remakes.

Doesn't matter:

And I could list more. Remakes or not, they still sell well. And I mean, the DQV DS game was a remake of a game that had just been remade for the PS2 some years before, and that still sold over a million in Japan.

It absolutely does matter. 

The games you listed are remakes of the mainline games. Those are likely to sell over a million in Japan 99% of the time (the only one that didn't was DQIII on the GB, but that got a remake on the SNES prior). The Monster series is a spinoff, and no one should expect remakes of spinoffs to sell that well. The fact that Terry's Wonderland 3D even came close to 1m is quite good, really, especially since it was limited to one platform.

Edit: And I'm not trying to undermine DQH's sales, because they're extremely good. I just don't see why DQ Monster remake sales have to be brought up to prove that.

Nice, but it's expected, even though it's a spin off

It sold more than 594,000 copies in its first week, 325,000 on PS3 and 269,000 on PS4.
In the first month (Japan only) it sold 770,000 copies (442854 for PS3 + 327389 for PS4)
That makes it sell on average 15,000 a week from March to July.
