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.

Because it´s not true, in Japan is Pokemon>Mario 2D>Dragon Quest>Final Fantasy=Monster Hunter

I think Final Fantasy is way more popular than Pokémon in Japan...

But you're wrong. Main Pokemons outsell DQ easily.

But I was talking about Final Fantasy.

I know. Being that DQ is more popular than Final Fantasy and that Pokemon is more popular than Dragon Quest.

Let's link it together.

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.

 

DQ IX will sell 2 million first week worst at in Japan. Fact.

FFXIII will sell 1 million first week at worst in Japan. Fact.

NA and EU will not come close to FFXIII and DQ IX numbers. Fact.

:P

But I really think that Final Fantasy can outsell Dragon Quest, especially when we are talking about the first week...

OK, I don't see a Pokémon game selling in the region of 1.8 million, as I believe Final Fantasy XIII will, considering the fact that it's a monster. Final Fantasy is easily one of the biggest series in Japan. It's really huge.

I don't think anything will outsell DQIX (Except for maybe DQ X). Because it's still the game whose release date Japan declares a National Holiday and gives all workers a week off to complete.

It won't. DQ8 on the PS2 sold a ginormous amount first week - 2,267,827. Heck DQ V remake on DS sold 679,461 first week. DQ IX will just be...utter rape for everything.

Really? So, according to you, how much will these games sell?

Diamond and Pearl sold 1.6 million in its first week and went on to sell over 5 million.

Red/Green/Blue sold over 10 million in Japan.

Ruby sold 1.2 million in its first week and sold over 5 million.

Gold/Silver sold 1.5 million first weeks and sold over 7 million.

No Final Fantasy has sold over 4 million in Japan.

That doesn't say much. When a Final Fantasy is released in Japan, it's crazy. The hype. The instant sales.  Same can't be said about Pokémon. And Final Fantasy is a more famous trademark than Pokémon in Japan. It's crazy. That's what I more mean.

How is Final Fantasy a bigger "trademark"? The Pokemon brand alone probably has made more money than the entire Square-Enix company in their history.
