That's representative because Square published the game on PS4, Nintendo on Switch; Square didn't promote it at all, Nintendo gave their version a push.Curious how the breakdown is in the West. I feel it's been more heavily promoted on Switch over here, but I'm not sure that my experience is necessarily representative.
based on what i've seen in the PAL charts, the switch version seems to have sold more but not by that much. of course that was to be expected since nintendo published and marketed that version.Curious how the breakdown is in the West.

yeah

Lol.
I think i saw way more ads for the PS4 version than for the Switch One (all Switch ads were on FE, MUA3 and Mario Maker 2)That's not true. In Europe at least there have been web ads for the PS4 version.
Unless DQXI sold less than 500k copies, nope?Did it really manage to outsell DQ XI in the West? While it's a damn fantastic game, I'm feeling kinda sad for DQ XI now :/
iirc it was revealed that XI has done 4 million WW, and about 3.5 of that is between the 3DS and PS4 versions in japan, so it was estimated that the PS4/Steam versions have done around half a million outside japan.
where are you getting 800K? last I seen, it was 500K at best (West+Asia)Unless DQXI sold less than 500k copies, nope?
EDIT: Yeah, DQXI was ~800kish in the West.
it did 1.1 million WW on ps3/ps4/vita, i don't think we have switch numbers.
Damn, this means 2 did as much in less time. Hopefully it goes on to sell more. Christmas is in four months.it did 1.1 million WW on ps3/ps4/vita, i don't think we have switch numbers.
1 had higher sales in japan, so it looks like while the sales for the sequel in japan have dropped a bit, the series is getting bigger in the rest of the world.Damn, this means 2 did as much in less time. Hopefully it goes on to sell more. Christmas is in four months.

With how well Nintendo has promoted Dragon Quest for a while, I am curious to see if the Switch version of DQ11 breaks the series' curse in the west.The official DragonQuest account only promotes the PS4 version. It doesnt even mention there is a Switch version out :P
With that said, Nintendo promotes better than SE does so overall Nintendo has done a much better job of promoting DQB2 than Square Enix has so pretty sure it's sold better on NSW than on PS4
i think it'll easily become the best selling version of the game outside japan. ~1 million shouldn't be that hard to achieve.With how well Nintendo has promoted Dragon Quest for a while, I am curious to see if the Switch version of DQ11 breaks the series' curse in the west.
This is totally false...both Square and Nintendo have pushed the game both before and after launch. This is a false narrative from people with old school advertising mentalities. Social media and video content on the internet IS marketing.That's representative because Square published the game on PS4, Nintendo on Switch; Square didn't promote it at all, Nintendo gave their version a push.

And that's why XI S is releasing in less than 2 month.Did it really manage to outsell DQ XI in the West? While it's a damn fantastic game, I'm feeling kinda sad for DQ XI now :/
