Dragon Quest IX to the best-selling series

Square Enix announced that Dragon Quest IX for Nintendo DS is the best selling game in the series Dargon Quest. As reported by Andriasang, Dragon Quest IX had reached 5.3 million copies sold around the world last December. Overall, the series has exceeded 57 million units sold worldwide, but DQ IX was the first to have passed the threshold of 5 million copies.

Last year, the producer Ryutaro Ichimura had revealed that the game draws its inspiration from the Western role-playing games such as Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Diablo. "For us, Dragon Quest IX is not part of the JRPG genre, unless you define any JRPG RPG created in Japan."
