Forums - Nintendo - Dragon Quest IX breaks 2 million preorders!!http://gonintendo.com/viewstory

2 million in Japan only?! What the fuck, totally pisses over super smash bros brawl... That game had 2.7 million worldwide in it's first week. And this is just pre orders...

But the question is is there going to be enough DQIX games released for everyone who want's it on first day/week?

 

Games on Nintendo consoles doesn't usually shipped with 2-3 million copies I think.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Is this coming outside of Japan as well ? Might get some huge sales then even though it's probably not so popular outside Japan.



Could be a coincidence but the japanese Nintendo stock is now the highest its been in 3 months. WSR and DQ are doing their job.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

No way do they have enough supplies for the launch. 2 million in japan alone on just preorders that is insane. Let's not forget the 350-750k that will be sold in stores opening week if it evens makes it to stores. I will guess that it will have 100% sell through for at least the first two weeks.



95% of gamers don't know they are noobs, the 5% who do won't be noobs for long

Wow. That's impresive, this is for japan or WW?



MY ZELDA COLLECTION

Japan only.



Yes, very impressive for Japan-only pre-order!



 And proud member of the Mega Mario Movement!

This is impressive, but not surprising. When is the last time a DQ game did less then 2 mil opening week in Japan?



I expect something like:

2.5m first week
3.5m lifetime sales
