Looks like my preliminary report is fairly accurate this week...

I said ~300k for Dragon Quest Swords

I said 87-102k for Wii

302k is close to 300k and 104k is close to 102k right?

http://www.vgchartz.com/news/news.php?id=423

I overestimated the 360 boost by about 600 units, and don't really understand why PS3 got a boost...

PS2 I expected a boost, but underestimated it. I was within 1,000 for DS & PSP

Still, my preliminary hardware numbers are based on software sales, so except for the PS3 boost I had the right idea for each console.

Got DQS this morning... first impression kind of okay, controls with walking is kind of blur, you'll need to use the key pad to go in directions, it would have been better with the nuchuck attached to it, but no. The sound is amazing, familiar DQ tunes, but the graphics I'm not highly impressed about, ey, did you she really say that? The game is not even in progressive scan. Nice voice actings, real DQVIII atmosphere... further I can't say much about it yet... But got the feeling it's one of the less adventures slash RPG games on the WII which might enjoy the fans a bit.. because to be honest... what else is out there on the WII? Right... nothing much... and seeing the Famitsu scores of Dewy's Adventure 7,8,8,8, and giving a Mario Party even 7,8,7,7, while this game is totally being destroyed by critics in the West, I have my doubts about the goodness of the game :(

Therefore DQS could perhaps have some long legs in Japan.

Your post is confusing, kinda like your Power Adaptor post :P
