If DQV sells this much, it's going to be crazy how much DQIX will sell.

Dragon Quest V Ships a Million in Japan
Less than two weeks to platinum status.
by John Tanaka

July 29, 2008 - Square Enix announced today that Dragon Quest V has, as of the 30th (Japan time), crossed the million shipment mark. The title was released in Japan on July 17.

Platinum sales for this latest Dragon Quest remake shouldn't come as a surprise. Last week, Media Create reported first week sales of over 600,000 units for the game. DQV's predecessor, a remake of DQIV, topped the million mark as well following its November 2007 Japanese release.

The trilogy of Dragon Quest remakes, including part VI, is scheduled for stateside release starting in September.

Don't piss your pants guys...DQ as big as it is still has a fairly defined fan base in Japan, so DQIX will do huge numbers - maybe 2000k week one - but its not going to sell 5m copies in a week or something just because there are gonna be 25m DS units out there in Japan by the time it launches.
