These are actually really bad numbers, especially for a Dragon Quest game in Japan.

 Are you an expert on Japanese game sales?

Not only relative, also absolute the digital sales were stronger on PS4. But some assumed from the public statements that adding digital sales the PS4-version had sold more. That seemed highly unlikely, as that would have needed very strong digital sales.

Given the statement it was a fair assumption to make. It either meant that or the PS4 version had the higher revenue, although the wording definitely sounded more like units sold rather than revenue generated. At least we do know for sure that the PS4 version did take the greater revenue though, so now we do know what they meant.

What the statement meant was in regards to userbases, PS4 has like 5m in Japan to the 24m or so to the 3DS so the statement was in regards to the performance with in the userbases of both platforms.

Much better digital sales then I expected for 2 days, should have a strong followup month too.

You do realise that the game also sold more than 2m physical copies, right?

A first week of over 2.2m incl. physical & digital doesn't sound that bad to me.

I agree, I'm scratching my head at that comment.

It's etking. Don't expect a genius response lol

With digital sales ( 2days) counting retail (citing Famitsu numbers)

= 3,025,496 (3DS + PS4) 4 millon plus is possible and it will depend on 3DS sales and legs.

3DS - 1.600.298 + 62,939 = 1,663,237

PS4 - 1.249.077 + 113,182 = 1,362,257

For 3DS 2m is possible with digital sales for the whole month could be closer than 1.8 M

PS4 1.5M is in the bag we still don't know the digital sales for the whole month so most likely it's closer than 1.5m or it's 1.5m now. 

I guess 2.5 million is possible for 3DS and 2.8m will be a stretch and unlikely.

As for PS4 2 million is possible. It will be a long stretch but doable.
