The debut of the Dragon Quest VI remake for DS proves that a Dragon Quest game doesn’t have to be entirely new to sell like crazy in Japan — just new enough. In its first week at retail, January 25-31, the new version of the classic Super Famicom RPG sold 906,458 copies, according to Media Create, making it by far the top-selling game of the week. A pair of other newly-released RPGs also did quite well: the PS3 version of tri-Ace’s shooty-RPG End of Eternity (we call it ” Resonance of Fate “) landed in second place on the weekly software chart with 118,088 units sold (the Xbox version charted respectably at #8, selling 27,048 units) and Ar Tonelico 3 hit #4 with 81,633 copies sold.

According to Square Enix, Dragon Quest IX has broken a shipment record in Japan, but we can’t help but be underwhelmed by the figure (and not just because Square was hoping for 5 million ). Unfortunately, Google Translate initially told us that the game had moved 415 million copies, rather than the 4.15 million it actually shipped. Sure, we guess 4.15 million is okay, but with 415 million, the jokes would have written themselves.

Japanese retail blogger Oosaka King has compiled a list of what he believes are the games that did worst for stores in 2009. These aren’t just poor sellers, they’re also games with low margins or other problems that kept retailers from profiting. Topping the list: Blood of Bahamut , a DS RPG released by Square Enix on August 6, just a few weeks after Dragon Quest IX .
