Dragon Quest III - 2 Million Copies sold

Two million is not bad and better then most current Triple A RPGs. :rotfl:

Watch Square Enix claim it underperformed sale-wise though.

That sounds low to me considering how immensely popular the franchise is. I would have expected it to sell that much, or close to it, in Japan alone.

Remakes usually sell less since a lot of the customer base already played it or don't care to play older games in a series.

Hard to know what were their estimations, but 2 million copies for a HD remake is still a ludicrous amount of "free money".

The one thing that strikes me is that despite 2 million copies sold, they only hit 45k concurrent players on Steam, which is more a number you'd expect from a game that has sold under 500k copies.

Either the number of sales is not right, or a lot of people are buying the game just out of nostalgia or for collecting without really playing it.
