 Today Square Enix announced that Dragon Quest IX for Nintendo DS is the best-selling Dragon Quest game of all time in Japan.  Square Enix has shipped 4.15 million copies of the game so far.      


The previous record was held by Dragon Quest VII, a Playstation 2 title, which sold 3.68 million copies.  Square Enix has been continuously supporting the game with new downloadable content on a weekly basis, and will continue to do so for the game's first year post-release.    


Expectations are for the game to sell upwards of five million copies, according to Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada.    


Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies has not been announced for a North American release as of yet.

I think I know what might not be on ANY system anymore, if it doesn't sell significantly higher than previous entries...

If I may enter a small correction.  Dragon Quest VII is a PS1 title.
