Yep, Dragon Quest is still popular
Oh no, you guys! Square Enix isslightly disappointedinDragon Quest X‘s sales performance! Despite it’sclearlydoing well, the MMO is not hitting whatever magical expectations SE set for it. I guess that means theDQbrand is now spiraling the drain, right? BUZZ Wrong!
Thelatest Media Create tracking numbershave been released, and the 3DS remake ofDragon Quest VIIhas sold 827,922 copies in its first week. The game’s initial shipment was a very Form 2 Frieza-esqueone million, which means a nearly 83% sell-through rate and (I’m assuming) sell-outs in various outlets. This is biggest Japanese launch for a 3DS title overall, and the second largest launch for aDQremake afterDQVIon the DS.
So the status quo is maintained. Japan is stillDragon Questland.
