Unsurprisingly, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined Is a Massive Hit in Japan 1

It's well-documented that Japan loves Dragon Quest, and that continues to prove itself true with the most recent game.

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined was last week's best-selling physical game in the country by a landslide. With different platform versions taking up the top three spots on the chart, the total sold comes to 456,552, per Famitsu estimates (thanks, Gematsu).

This figure doesn't include digital sales.

The next best-selling game is Nioh 3, which managed less than 10 per cent of DQ7's sales at 40,570 physical copies sold. Obviously, it's only on one platform, so it's not a great comparison, but any game would struggle to measure up to Square Enix's RPG series.

On the hardware side, PS5 (including PS5 Pro) has once again outsold Switch 1, but the Switch 2 continues its winning streak.
