Dragon Quest XI sold through 76% of its initial shipment in Japan, gave 3DS a huge boost
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 22 Comments
Japan just had one of its best weeks in a long while in terms of gaming sales. Dragon Quest XI finally launched to huge success, and Nintendo shipping out a steady supply of Switch units also helped.
Console-wise, the sales of all 3DS systems combined sold 417.62 percent more than last week. Again, part of this was due to the release of Dragon Quest XI. Square Enix also put out a special Liquid Metal Slime New 2DS XL design, which was no doubt purchased by many consumers.
