Over 3 Million. Dragon Quest IX Best Selling Game Ever in the First Week in Japan

2,877,000 preorders ALONE, according to Sinobi. We do not have full first week numbers yet.

THREE. MILLION. Units, day one.

For the curious, the previous record-holder for first day sales in Japan was Final Fantasy VIII on the Playstation One at 2.5 million units sold. After that comes Dragon Quest VIII at 2.24 million.

Holy cow. That is just crazy.

Worth it's own thread, for sure. And hey, maybe you should be interested in something that broke records too!.
