To no one's surpirse Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake had the year's best debut week in Japan, though sadly it didn't manage to sold over a million copies on Switch alone, or even combined with the PS5 sales numbers, though I think it's more due to the fact that Square-Enix undershipped the amount of copies on Switch, which is something that has happened quite a few times with other of their RPGs on the console, and it seems they won't be able to restock the games until December
Regarding hardware sales, I thought the PS5 Pro could have stayed on the top for another week but no

The game looks great. Sucks it's 59.99 for my wallet in the future, but great nonetheless.

I am completely and utterly shocked that a Dragon Quest game (specifically a remake of the installment that took the franchise from "success" to "legend") not only topped the sales charts in Japan, but constituted 88% of the combined sales of the top 20 games.

And man, did you hear about that dog biting that man? Crazy, huh?

I'm waiting until a Steam sale myself. Don't really want to spend 60 dollars on a remaster of an NES game and unlike Nintendo's remasters this will actually go on sale at some point.
Speaking of which I heard the Switch version has performance issues which seems odd. I'm not sure what's so intense about the game.
