According to Dengeki Magazine's sales rankings, Super Smash Bros. DX for GameCube was the #2 top-selling game in Japan for the week of Nov. 19-25. (It didn't even go on sale until the 21st.) The game sold over 358,000 copies according to Dengeki's figures, making it already the most popular GameCube title yet in Japan.

So what game could outsell the mighty Smash Bros.? Why, Enix's 3D remake of Dragon Quest IV, of course. It took the top slot with an impressive 638,000 units sold. DQIV has been the most highly anticipated game in Japan ever since it was announced, so the big numbers should come as no surprise.

Famitsu Weekly should release its own sales figures sometime soon. Although Famitsu's numbers tend to be lower than Dengeki's because the former only includes certain aspects of the retail sector, Famitsu's weekly sales figures are also on a differently staggered schedule and will cover a few more days than Dengeki's report.
