Additionally, this data was compiled for the time between November 27, 2023, and December 31, 2023. During this period, The Dark Prince was the most-sold title in Japan, surpassing Super Mario Bros.

We should get 3 weeks' worth of numbers today, so there will be lots to go through.

Given it's placement on the digital charts, it should be at least 750,000 in total.

Should become a million seller, which bodes well for DQ12 and DQ3 remake.
