Square Enix already confirmed during the announcement that there will be system bundles which will be revealed later. Since this is huge game, I'd say the chances are high.On a somewhat related note, what are the chances Nintendo and/or Sony will release SE 3DS/PS4 systems that feature DQ branding, imagery, etc.?

Cmon, you don't bet with a Mario avatar against Playstation chances 😂Want to make an Avatar bet?
Is Dragon Quest leggy or front loaded?

Interestingly, on Comgnet's preorder chart the PS4 version of DQXI (currently at 18 pts, was at 10 pts on yesterday's chart) is now ahead of the 3DS one (14 vs 11 yesterday). I know, early days, Comgnet and all that but still...

Pray tell why I don't want this bet? I'm all ears.
Kinda crazy that someone would rather play DQ like this
when you can play it like this....
Thank God PS4 version exists.
I'm joking. Dont kill me.
So true, it really is not like any multi-plat I can remember. It's two completely different games in all but story and basic gameplay, if you're a big fan of course you would get both surely.I do think it's also worth considering those who would be buying both versions. Given the differences in the two releases, if DQXI outperforms DQIX, this will be the main factor.

I agree with all of the above, but just want to point out that we should probably count FFXV as a million seller given the digital downloads. Speaking of which wonder if DQXI will beat FFXV digitally...There are these factors to consider:
- DQ is coming out on a Saturday, as usual, so we're talking about 2 days of sales for the "first week" here.
- DQVII -> DQVIII -> DQIX first week figures are something like 1.8 mil -> 2.1 mil -> 2.3 mil.
- DQXI is coming out 8 years after DQIX.
- In all the lifespan of the PS3 and PS4, the only single SKU million seller LTD in Japan is FFXIII on PS3. FFXV is almost there but not yet.
So it's really not just about how FF did. It's about how, even if people want to suggest that FF is a "tainted" brand, it is still the best performing title on Sony consoles in Japan today. What does that say about the active user base on these platforms then?
Furthermore, with an outlook that the best cast scenario for the first week (again, first two days) being ~2 million-ish, what sort of division are we really expecting here between 3DS and PS4? If you expect the 3DS to do more than 50% of the sales, then it's easy to see why 1 million in the first week is not assured in any way for the PS4 version.

Yeh I'd say FFXV is a million seller, but it BARELY managed that in Japan sadly given that we had to count digital sales. I guess we'll find out if FFXV is indicative of the PS4 game's ceiling. I wouldn't be surprised if a future GTA6 or Minecraft and GTAV's steady sales eventually just overtake FFXV's LTD even lol.I agree with all of the above, but just want to point out that we should probably count FFXV as a million seller given the digital downloads.

Ōkami;233770982 said:It'll likely be the lowest sinve V on the Super Famicom, and that one did some 500k FW.
Putting it in other terms.
Expecting DQXI to open at 1M on the PS4 is expecting around ~22% of the PS4 userbase to purchase the game.
Take that same expectation and apply it to the 3DS, which is by far more popular than the PS4, and the 3DS version will launch ~4.5m.
Big openings like this don't tend to scale with user base. What was the PS3 user base when FFXIII released and what's the likely user base of PS4 when DQXI will release. Not exactly comparable but it does show you can have big openings on a smaller user base (I do realise that was an exception though).
I'm thinking more like 800K opening week with a chance of going 1 million plus on the PS4 alone.
1 million OW on PS4 is not happening. That's a ridiculous attach ratio.
The results are similar (for example for DS/Wii games which had the same title as a PS360 game), but it's not like this.There's probably 100s of old movie licences that fit that description

Um, if the story and basic gameplay are the same, how is it two completely different games?
Aren't we due a PS4 price drop or super slim sometime this year? Wouldn't surprise me if that conveniently lined up with DQ's new date.
Another 5000 off would definitely put PS4 + DQXI + FFXV in impulse buy territory for me and probably a good few other people.
See my post above, everything else is so different it's like a remake rather than the 'same' game.Um, if the story and basic gameplay are the same, how is it two completely different games?
The point is that expecting 1M is unrealistic as an opening just like expecting 4.5m is unrealistic.
I think a 2M launch would be good. (3DS + PS4)
70% 3DS
30% PS4
1.4M vs 600k
Beside double pack that will not easy to track, we still have hardware bundle coming too.
Let bet on sub 1 million!
Sub million what?
