Curious as to how much Dragon Quest IX sold outside Japan? So were we! Luckily, Nintendo revealed sales figures for the game (and others) as part of their earnings report for the third quarter of their ongoing fiscal year, set to end on March 31st, 2011.
Dragon Quest IX, published by Nintendo in the U.S. and Europe, has sold 1.02 million copies to date. Keep in mind that figure is for the U.S. and Europe only, as the game was published by Square Enix in Japan.
