http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2009/12/500x_dqix.jpgSquare Enix (http://kotaku.com/tag/squareenix/) aren't so preoccupied with the success of Final Fantasy XIII (http://kotaku.com/5429389/final-fantasy-xiiis-first+day-sales-numbers-are-in) that they've forgotten about their other mega-bucks franchise, Dragon Quest (http://kotaku.com/tag/dragonquest/) IX, and how it's also breaking sales records.
In a statement issued yesterday by the company, it was revealed that sales of Dragon Quest IX (http://kotaku.com/tag/dragonquestix/) on the DS have just pushed past the 4.15 million barrier, allowing the game to pass the lifetime sales of Dragon Quest VIII and become the biggest-selling game in the series.
And that's before it's even out in the West, where DQVIII sold half a million copies. So, yeah, that 4.15 million figure should be a lot healthier by the end of 2010.
