Dragon's Dogma Sells Over 330,000 Copies In Japan

Dragon's Dogma is doing well in Japan with 302,000 PlayStation 3 copies sold, and 29,000 on Xbox 360.

Dragon's Dogma beat out Mario Tennis for 3DS which came out the same day in Japan, and it also beat the initial numbers of Dark Souls and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

Jeff Cork liked Dragon's Dogma quite a bit in his review. It's definitely outside of Capcom's wheelhouse of fighting games, zombies, and side-scrolling platformers starring blue robots, but I think it's safe to say that the game is a success, at least over in Japan.

    great for Capcom! Hopefully they will make other new IPs and try new things.

    On another note how is this game? I trust GI reviews completely but I haven't heard anything from fellow gamers. How is it?

    * thanks for the info! I will check it soon then!

    I'm still on the fence about this one. The preview on here just wasn't enough. I hate being so 50/50 about games.

    It seems like the phrase "in/out of blanks wheelhouse" is being used everywhere these days.  On topic, I wasn't a fan of the demo, but I might give it a chance later on down the line.

    Hopefully they make a sequel, because this one lacks polish.
