Forums - Sales - FFXIII or Dragon Quest IX? Which will have the most imposing Japan sales?

DQIX... I mean no contest you have an install base of 20 million in Japan and DQ is one of their favorite RPGs.

Personally I wonder how DQX will do in Japan, it could be the kick that Wii needs to go back to normal sales.

 

It'll be a long wait untill that kick!

DQIX will sell more, but FFXIII will do more for the system it's on.



Dragon Quest without a doubt.

you couldn't be more wrong.

 

Pokemon > Dragon Quest >  FF > MH

No, I think I know now. And Dragon Quest is the biggest, OK, followed by Final Fantasy. I finally now understand, because I have read about old people wanting to play Dragon Quest, and so on, and Final Fantasy is insane, too.

So Dragon Quest is the biggest trademark, followed by Final Fantasy,

Again, why insisting to not count Pokemon, Pokemon is the biggest everywhere, especially in Japan...

I do count Pokémon, but I don't think it comes close.

Do old people want to play Pokémon? Do stars play Pokémon? Is a Pokémon game forbidden to be released on a weekday due to so many wanting it? I don't think so...

 



Do i have to explain again why the game is forbidden? well, here i go:

Dragon Quest has always been (until now) a console JRPG, and being that much popular causes people to absent from work or school, but that's because it can't be played everywhere (i'm talking about the originals, not the remakes) so people stay at home and play it... DQ3 (my favorite DQ game) caused this back then and it was Enix, not the Japanese government, the ones that decided this...

Pokemon is not like that, it has always been a handheld game, it doesn't matter if it gets more popular than Mario, it's still a handheld game that can be played everywhere so people don't get absent from work...

Now, saleswise, here's your proof from Famitsu:

1 GB Pokemon Red/Green/Blue 10,077,000
2 GB Pokemon Gold/Silver 7,961,000
4 DS Pokemon Diamond/Pearl 5,465,000
5 GBA Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire 5,337,000

11 PS Dragon Quest VII 3,893,000
14 FC Dragon Quest III 3,800,000
17 PS2 Dragon Quest VIII 3,546,000

18 PS Final Fantasy VIII 3,502,000
19 PS Final Fantasy VII 3,278,000

20 GB Pokemon Yellow 3,160,000

21 FC Dragon Quest IV 3,100,000
22 SFC Dragon Quest VI 3,082,000

26 GBA Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen 2,884,000

28 SFC Dragon Quest V 2,800,000

29 PS Final Fantasy IX 2,707,000
32 SFC Final Fantasy VI 2,550,000
34 SFC Final Fantasy V 2,450,000

35 FC Dragon Quest II 2,400,000
38 GB Dragon Quest Monsters 2,350,000

39 PS2 Final Fantasy X 2,325,000
40 PS2 Final Fantasy XII 2,322,000

49 GB Pokemon Crystal 2,120,000

And do i have to repost the pictures i put in this very thread? when was the last time (or any time) Dragon Quest got painted in Japanese airlines, subways and cars??? Pokemon did that, and of course stars play Pokemon, old people??? well the last time i went to Nihon i saw some old folks playing it, but i don't know if it's the exception or the rule...

If I remember right the law includes all RPGs not just final fantasy and DQ so Pokemon would fall under that law.

Again, Pokemon is not bigger than either FF or DQ on consoles. It is only bigger on handhelds. That's why people often ignore it, as do I.
