3.76 million total NEW Super Mario Bros sold in Japan alone. Wow. This is also one of the first times I recognize the names of these games.

IIRC SE is not allowed to release a Dragon Quest game on a weekday due to how many people will skip work to play it :P


It's a huge series in Japan. Biggest one maybe.

And they can't pirate Dragon Quest because it's on the DS? Get with the times, Dragon Quest is a bigger series than Metal Gear Solid in Japan.

Are you surprise? Dragon Quest is the bees knees in Japan. People actually take days off from school and work when a new main stream DQ game comes out.

Dragon Quest is much huge, as most titles sold at least one million copies in Japan, while no Metal Gear Solid game has even reach that milestone.

And by the way, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 was released on a Thursday, the same day as Meal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, not on a weekend because of the Golden Week holiday period which ended just yesterday in Japan.

Reading Dragon Quest makes me realise they still haven't given an official release date for DQ9 :(
