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

Domo-Kun on 24 April 2009

BTW, what Benga said.

DQ is HUGE in Japan, and the install base of the DS plus it's popularity will almost guarentee that DQIX will outsell FFXIII.

The HD consoles aren't exactly selling like hotcakes in Japan, and aren't quite as popular.

Thus far, I'm obliged to say that I'm very surprised. I thought you'd agree with me, and I thought that FF was the most popular series in Japan.

I didn't even know Dragon Quest was more popular than Pokémon.

I'd bet my life savings DQ will outsell FF.  Always has and probably always will.  Either way though, who cares.  The japanese sales figures are going to be tiny little numbers next to the US and EU sale numbers.  Over here FF will vastly outsell DQ.

Your ignorance is showing. DQ9 sales in Japan will outsell FF13 in the West.

Let's see:

3 million PS3's now, maybe around 4.5 when FFXIII is released.

26,5 million DS's now, maybe what? 27-28 when DQIX is released.


Do you even want to ask that question?

Even on PS2 DQ outsold FF, indeed let alone with the massive userbase difference.

DQIX = 4.0k first week.

FFXIII= 0.4k first week.

 I don't know about that.  Either way though, at the time I thought they were talking about the future console DQ game.  As I stated earlier, handheld games sell very well in japan.  however, when comparing console games, what I said is still true.
