The first quest is already live and will continue until September 30. The goal of the quest is for players to simply upload their save file over Wi-Fi, with the goal being 500,000 uploads by the time the quest ends. The purpose of this quest is for SquareEnix to gather the player data, play rates and play trends of the popular DS title (such as where players are located, for instance).
If the goal is met, Fleurette from the Wii title Dragon Quest Swords will make a special appearance in one of the game's locales.
They are desperately trying to do whatever they can to prolong the sales of this game to as far past 5million as possible. The only way to do that is to get people to hold onto their copies long enough that the people waiting for the used bin copy will just buy a new one instead. This may seem artificial, but what better way do they have to test these anti-used game sales techniques?

I disagree, they are doing this to prolong the replay value with new content in order to discourage trade-ins. The used market in Japan is very big and much more diverse than North America.
I disagree. Used Nintendo games cost more because they're traded in less often than other games, so Nintendo fans buy them new because they want to hang onto them and can't find them used.

Would you expect anything less from me? ;D
I'm glad at least someone got the joke.
