I dunno about that all I know is a FF Demo made a jump in sales for Ps3 imagine the actual game being released. I played one Dragon Quest and didn’t like it, the story felt half baked and the random encounters were a little overbearing. I am all for turn based battles just wish it didn’t have to be two steps -> phase to battle-> Battle.

Dragon Quest is more popular than Final Fantasy in Japan.

All you have to do is put Final Fantasy in front of it and itt would double just look at the PS3 sales when the FFXIII demo came out…

Never ceases to amaze me that for all intents and purposes the Japanese games market is flagging but all they need is a Dragon Quest game to have the population foaming at the mouth in excitement.

Another very smart move from Nintendo’s standpoint.

Only Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy have ever been able to pull those sort of numbers in Japan in their first week… so maybe.

＞予約数だけで200万本は硬いとみています
This means “I think DQ9 pre-orders will　certainly exceed 2 milion units” . Not real numbers.Only speculation.

I bet Sony and Microsoft are spitting that Nintendo already grabbed Dragon Quest X for the Wii.
