Dragon Quest XI PS4 sales trending better than 3DS

GN Version 5.0

This comes from a transcript of Square Enix's financial call...

On July 29, we released “DRAGON QUEST XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age,” which has generated a great customer response and garnered praise for its contents. We have seen stronger sales of the PlayStation®4 version than the NINTENDO 3DS version, but given the installed base, we have high hopes for growth in sales of the NINTENDO 3DS version going forward as well.

Q: Do you look likely to reach your target for unit sales of “DRAGON QUEST XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age?” Also, you say that you are seeing strong sales of the PlayStation®4 version, which has a high sales price. Does that mean we can expect sales to beat your plan?

A: We believe that we can reach the lower end of our unit sales plan. Our goal is to reach the upper end of that plan, but we believe that that will depend on how sales of the NINTENDO 3DS version trend going forward.

This transcript comes from Aug. 4th, so the situation may have changed a bit since then. Also remember, Dragon Quest XI is heading to NA/EU, but we don't know if both versions will be localized. Finally, Media-Create sales data had 3DS above PS4.

01./01. [3DS] Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age # (Square Enix) {2017.07.29} (¥5.980) - 307.714 / 1.456.601 (-73%)
