Forums - Sales - DQ11 sells over 2m copies in 2 days! (Retail sales)

Nautilus on 02 August 2017

Pleasently surprised that the game sold this well, and that both versions did well, coupled with good hardware sales.This is good for everyone!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Those numbers are insane. How many people are waiting for the Switch version? It could reach spectacular numbers there.

yea, the Switch version should imo add another 300k+ fw making this the best fw for DQ and maybe the best selling DQ in Japan, while having much more sales potential in the west than previous games

that said the Monster Hunter XX port for Switch right now shows very low preorder numbers, which casts a bit of a doubt over this scenario of mine

You don't think that has more to do the fact that it is a late HD port of an expansion to an even later released spin off 3DS game?

Like with the Dragon Quest XI we are talking more about a portable made version of the PS4 version releasing late but in a timeframe of months, not 3 years which is when the original non expanded version Monster Hunter X released. Dragon Quest will likely do well especially considering the bigger install base the Switch will have at it's release, it's only 1 million+ in Japan right now.

PS4 putting a retail fight against 3DS (even late on its life) for Dragon Quest is pretty good, digital sales for it should also be strong so it probably sold 1M in those two days, which means it already beat FFXV even with sales split in half because of the 3DS xP
Japan sure love some Dragon Quest, lol.

I think it's safe to assume when we apply regular digital rates on PS4 that it sold at least 1.2m.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

But they where all stuck in the sand, because of the 3DS hardware.

This new Monster Hunter, will be like a breath of fresh air, for fans of the series.

Also visually... its a big jump, that should sway quite a few alone on that merrit.

New improved gameplay elements + insane visual upgrades = sales.

Not when MH Double Cross has sold more than 1.5m already, specially considered that's an upgrade of a game that sold more than 2m. How many times can you buy the same game, even upgraded?

Monster Hunter X                     
2015 Action Capcom 0.32 0.26 2.81 0.05 3.45
Monster Hunter Double Cross 2017 Action Capcom 0.00 0.00 1.56 0.00 1.56

Thats a fair point.... Capcom probably arnt doing themselves any favors releaseing so many Monster Hunter games so regularly.

They should do the PS4 game, and let that be it (MH wise) for a while.

Always knew 3DS version would sell more... now people are just going to pretend they never expected the PS4 version to sell more. Watch it.

How many did it sell digital on each respective e-store?

Now keep the baits out.

Great ! surprised by the PS4 numbers, maybe it even outsold the 3DS if digital was big but i doubt it.



Now the real question is, will it outselll DQ IX lifetime WW?

Most impressive are the 3DS HW numbers. One would think everyone in Japan who doesn't live under a rock would own a 3DS by now. It's basically a pre-requisite to being Japanese.

I envy them with their ability to streetpass.  Animal Crossing Happy Home Showcase would really shine there.

I think so.

IX was the best selling DQ on the west though, it sold just over 1 million.

 

But i believe XI will do better here with PS4 3DS and Switch combined.

 

Dunno about beating it WW.

 

Now SE get to work on a IX remake for the Switch!

When it was first announced people said what's the point of the ps4 version and that it was a waste of money and resources.  People said the 3DS version would outsell it 3/4/5:1 and that ps4 version wouldn't even hit 1m lifetime.  

 

The negativity as usual was a lot worse on gaf then here but I'm delighted to see the ps4 version sell so well.  Including digital and future Asian/western sales ps4 version will beat the 3DS. 

Mar1217 himself predicted the PS4 version to sell just over 500k lifetime. And that was like 45 days before release

Wow it blew Mars expectations out of the water.  only just over 500k lifetime???  Including digital it sold over 1m after 2 days.  I think he owes it a big congrats and I ought to cook up some crow :)
