So I guess SE shipped out ~1,087,058 copies of FFIII in Japan. :D

Good news indeed for all those thinking it would fail to break a million!

Are you guys missing #57 on purpose? :(

Yes, of course...
Thanks for the translation!

First day sales
NDS Dragon Quest Monster Joker - 430.000 (52%)


Around 825.000 units as first shipment it seems, beats FF3 first day (330k).

Not bad at all. I think we can expect S-E's flagship DS titles to get better and better sales as time goes by. FFXII RW should have a big opening as well, leading up to the major attraction DQIX. The question will be whether FFXII RW can push 1 million units in the first week, and how many millions DQIX pushes in the first week.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

Obviously, SE's choice to switch the Dragon Quest franchise to the DS was a GOOD CHOICE!

Holy hell.
 
After some checking, its going to beat handily any other DQM start. Probably the first week will beat DQM CH GBA total. Famitsu data on other DQM games...

Title / Release Date / Platform / First Week / 2nd week / 3rd week / Total / First/Total %
 ▼ Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland / 98.09.25 / GB / 333,114 / 117,937 / 59,360 / 1,911,107 / 17.43 %
 ▼ Dragon Quest Monsters 2: Ruka no Tabadachi / 01.03.09 / GB / 501,081 / 159,625 / 116,802 / 1,253,013 / 39.99 %

It will sell 8 million tops in its first day. If it goes over 8 million in its first day, my account can be deleted.

How many units did DQH RS sell? (first day/first week/lifetime if available)
Dunno about first day but first week will tell you enough...

▼ Slime MoriMori: Dragon Quest 2 - Daisensha to Shippo Dan / 05.12.01 / DS / 43,995 / 31,979 / 31,509 / 293,970 / 14.97 %

Very long seller, very similar to the first part (on GBA).
 
woah, 430K in one day? so thats lookin at 500 thousand plus for week one of a DQ spinoff? Well you can see why they will be throwing support behind the ds! with FF3, this, FF12, and DQIV, well that could be 4 million sellers just there. would make them the 2nd most successful handheld software maker behind nintendo yes?

Somebody call Lance, we've almost got another member of the 300K club! Call Square too, and let them know that their game is almost a success now.

So Sega (soon), S-E (soon), and Bandai all will be million publishers on the DS. Third parties bomba? Not anymore it seems.
 
The DS has been out in Japan now for 2 full years plus 4 weeks. In its first full year (including launch week and all) only 3,774,087 units were sold meaning that a huge 10,055,274 have been sold in the remaining year and 4 weeks.

These 4 weeks have been the past 4 weeks in the run up to Christmas but even removing them to leave us with the second full year leaves a massive 8,772,684, well over double the first year.

The momentum with DS is amazing.

Holy crap, thats MUCH better than I thought. Well, on the other hand it's Dragon Quest. But still, million seller basically confirmed is great.

Interesting how DQM2: RnT outperformed DQM1 in its first week by a convincing margin and those subsequent weeks, but still couldn't manage to outsell its predecessor's overall numbers. I wonder what this will say about DQMJ.
 
Sequels generally sell lower than their predecessors, just so you know.

But the DS is breaking every established law of the videogame market, so who knows?

This will say that DQMJ will outsell both of them.

I wonder what kind of sales Pokemon is going to end up doing. It's pretty insane to see it shift ~400k copies when it had already sold ~4M...games like ACWW, BT1/2 and NSMB have had excellent sales over a long period of time but Pokemon is on a different scale

borghe said:
DS will probably sell over 4m units worldwide in the month of December alone.

It will easily sell over 4M units in December.

~1.5M in Japan (already at ~1.2M)
~2M in US
~2M in EU (sold 500k a week in mid-December)

If they got enough stock to the EU it will could have done something like 2.5M. I suspect that the total worldwide sales of DSL this month will be in the region of 6M units

oh shit, the next DS million seller rolls into town. There are practically a dozen DS titles already released that will sell 1m units at some point in 2007 - this system will have the most 1m sellers of all time by the end of its life.

Well that's because it had a 2nd wind at xmas after selling out in Oct / Nov and getting new shipments in.

Enix were only expecting around 500k sales for the original Dragon Quest Monsters.

I'd say Kirby's more of a potential million seller... really depends on how it holds up after the holidays.


edit: for potential future stuff...

-ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat (Nintendo/MistWalker)
-Dragon Quest IX: Guardians of the Sky (Square Enix/Level-5)
-Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (Square Enix)


...strange there's not really anything else on the horizon but RPGs? I wonder when we'll see Nintendo drop Brain-Training 3 and Brain Academy 2?

There are about a billion sequels that sell better than their predecessors, so imo that is not really an established law.

Ridge Racer 7 ~95K
Mobile Suit Gundam: Target In Sight ~88K
Resistance: Fall of Man ~71K
Genji ~47K
Motor Storm ~36K
Armored Core 4 ~35K
Need for Speed Carbon ~10K
Sega Golf Club ~7K

Are these numbers accurate?

Hey, ethelred, did you really like MMBN or something?

Not really at all. But it was a pretty major release for the system (particularly for Capcom, this being one of their two most major releases), so I'm interested in seeing its exact numbers for comparison's sake.

I expect that to be 1/4 of the total million sellers the DS has in its lifetime.

First week sales were 77,152 (Famitsu) and second week sales seem to be around 90k according to the MC top 50.
