Ah. I see what you mean. So while the PS4 version has made more money, the 3DS version has actually sold more copies. Makes sense. Thank you for the clarification.
Maybe, but DQ is pretty important to Sony for the PS4 in Japan no?What is holding back the switch version is SE wanting people to double/triple dip, not any Sony silliness.
Considering the PS4 production costs are much higher, I think the total revenue should be in favour of 3DS, if sales for both versions are continuing declining this fast.
What, as opposed to... versus Xbox? Versus Wonderswan? Versus Sega?
There are only two viable console manufacturers in Japan, why wouldn't their comparative sales be discussed?
Why don't Media Create or Famitsu consider them separate markets when ranking software and hardware sales then?

Don't worry, the Switch's honour is just fine whichever version it gets. If you want a more fanboy discussion then go to the MC thread, there you can talk smack all you like and everyone will even support you.All I'm reading is wishful thinking on your part: "Switch will get the 3DS version"; "Sony will not let DQXI go that easily"; "Exclusivities are in place." You're pulling stuff out your ass to support what you want to happen when Sony has had no say or muscle over the brand even when they owned SE stock.

Yeap... ignore all last gen post in MC threads lolI would ignore ethomaz's logic. He is very unknowledgable of Japan's market, since his introduction to the MC threads was motivated by an incontrolable urge to shill for the PS4.
I really don't think the switch version is effecting the PS4 version much.
Since it doing good for SE or more than what most people thought .
If anything switch version effect the 3DS version and maybe some of the casual moving on .
More like 5% to 15%.DD rate in Japan is 10% to 15% if i remember right .

The 3DS is on its way out, by the time it hits in the West even more so. A Switch version could then do a lot to conjure interest in that version.
No it's not possible it sold 340k digitally because the PS4 version wasn't out of stock. Neither versions were.
Unusually high digital sales like those are due to severe stock shortages.
selling on par with PS3 now =/= on track to reach 10mGreat = Over 5m units sold on track to reach 10m in today Japan console market plus way higher software sales than previous generation.
I only hope that this doesn't screw the western release of the ps4 version. A man can only dream of having a new DQ.
I wouldn't be surprised if this gets re-released on PS5 in native 4K, I'd be all over it.Unless PS5 somehow doesn't launch until 2022? I also wouldn't characterize PS3 sales as great historically either.
WTF is with people downplaying the sales of PS4 version? So much salt. PS4 version WW will be the highest SKU of this game when it's all said and done.
What are you even talking about?
It is already confirmed to be coming next year.
You'd think that Sony would want to keep their prized asset especially since they contributed so much to the marketing.Square Enix isn't Sony. There's no exclusivity deal in place.

They are not holding the Switch version... they just started to develop it.What is holding back the switch version is SE wanting people to double/triple dip, not any Sony silliness.

Same thing happened with Monster Hunter.
They kept their prized asset so much that it comes on two non-sony platforms.
What are you seriously trying to say ?
Pretty sure that posts like that are meant to rile up other people, not genuine arguments. Better to ignore them.
They release the Japanese version there on the same day but the Asian version is suppose to release in Q4 2017.Dualshockers's interpretation of Matsuda' enigmatic quote is PS4 sales are stronger when counting digital and sales in Asia. Where was the game released apart from Japan though ?
I feel like some posters expected PS4 version to not did well as it did and they just want reaffirm themselves in that mindset. That's the vibe I get from some the responses.
I'm sure there is some form of exclusivity in place.

No but...
PS4 overperformed.
3DS underperformed.
That based in what SE expected from each platform.
No need to get so defensive, no one is saying anything against the Switch here unless you feel the 3DS game is somehow second-tier.They kept their prized asset so much that it comes on two non-sony platforms.

Look take the persecution complex to the MC thread.Pretty sure that posts like that are meant to rile up other people, not genuine arguments. Better to ignore them.
How so? SE is not Capcom, they have enough money to develop their own games.
No. The Hong Kong Japanese version has already been released. It's the Hong Kong Chinese version that is Q4 2017. Most Japanese games are released twice in HK.
It already shipped 3,000,000+ though and counting, plus WW release will be within their FY so it's possible.
It depends how well it keeps on selling in Japan and how the west responds to it, I'm kinda positive though.
The hypocrisy of you saying this. All of your posts is whining, acting like a victim and accusing the MC threads of being biased. Feel free to check out the MC threads during the 3DS/Wii U days where Nintendo fans were desperately reaching and most people who frequently visited MC threads shut them down. In fact last gen, Nintendo fans were accusing MC threads of being biased. Whenever one side starts selling well. The other side accuses MC of being biased. However, carry on with your persecution complex.Look take the persecution complex to the MC thread.
Thanks for the history lesson, but yeah I still think Switch will get the 3DS version.The hypocrisy of you saying this.
