  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Being published by Nintendo who also published Dragon Quest 9

On a side note. Dragon Quest 9 has now sold 5.2 million copies (exactly as I predicted it would back in September). Among those sales, 850,000 copies have sold in the western market. It continues to sell at a fairly steady 25-30K per week, as it has for past 4 months. So it is going to pass 1 million sales soon; not bad at all for a market that (according to some here) does not play Dragon Quest games.

More about Dragon Quest 6.
