XI was released in various forms; considering only the first one is quite misleading. And that is beside the fact that most people are playing it on PC anyway.Do we have any MMO of any strong brand on consoles to see which was its performance?
I only can think at FFXI and its numbers are...
I can't either; the closest shift I can think of is WoW being RTS to MMO; which, well, is too rare a happening to be used a metric.
there's a general NDA going around on beta testers that they can't spill the beans? Or is it limited to VIP persons?The moderator in question personally localized DQ6, so I think it's fair to say that he's not going to break NDA or discuss anything he's not allowed to.

I didn't comment on profitability I commented on amount of sales on one platform compared to real mainline titles.
It's a given people who will enjoy DQX will be less than those of previous games.
This is what I'm expecting, like 400-600k for the Wii version. I think the Wii U version could do more though given MMORPGs tend to have longer tails with rereleases/expansions.
Yeah but DQ is at a completely different level of sales in Japan than FF was and DQ has been doing it consistently for a long time. Unlike in FF where you can see a clear rise and fall for the franchise. FF's popularity was declining by the time FF11 released. However, I don't see a giant MMO market emerging because of DQX.
So you think SE will be lucky to get sales of around what FF11 did despite the fact that DQ has been a much more massive seller for a lot longer, will be releasing on two systems and you won't have to go through a convoluted way to play the game.

8-4 ltd was formerly established in 2005. But a lot of the personel in the company had worked on titles like Tales of Symphonia before the company was formed.
Worst moment. I want to know how DQ XI has been doing so far.
