Well damn, over half a million. You would think these numbers would warrant a Western release, right?
I’m speaking of DQ
Over 500k? Japan sure love their RPGs.
Its been out for months there, it’s actually selling a lot based on how long it’s been out
Are you stupid?
Japan sure loves life simulation gmes like animal crossing too
Why is Yoshi selling so bad? Someone knows how are its global sales?
Nintendo has always held the edge everywhere. Their games are just that good. Square Enix needs to realize who really plays their games. That FF15 is beginning to look Nintendo next console bound.
F=ma.
You can’t compare Nintendo handhelds to their consoles to warrant support for the latter. The 3DS is cheaper, and there are far more games and support for it. Simply because a game does well on the 3DS doesn’t mean it will do well on the console.
Huge leap for the Xbox One…XD
….
XD
So how comes the XBOX ONE has outsold it?
square ennix better start releasing their other games on Nintendo consoles.
Lol. I wonder what’s making PS4 the #2 seller.
Theres so many anime games and RPG on the PS4 in Japan. I know cause i saw them on the PS store. Thats why is ps4 is selling well in Japan
Is because theres so many anime RPG games. On ths PS4. Ik cause i have a PS4 and is not Region Lock. I see alot in the ps store.
I think Until Dawn and Dishonored
Hopefully those numbers convince Square to support Nintendo a bit more.
Well they have been supporting the 3ds a lot
