Allow me to clarify: in the context of what SE expected, no, it didn't sell very well, especially when we're talking about the PS2 at the height of its game.
I think you may have a point (about remake-itis) but there's also the case that, as far as Westerners are concerned, DQ doesn't really exist and is certainly not a franchise on par with Final Fantasy (yes, I know: duh). It also isn't very 'hardcore' in that it's bright, shiny and, for the most part, happy, with little of the angst and rank cynicism that pervades much of its peers, something that Westerners haven't been keen on for a very, very long time.

If that's true, then why are many of the angsty protagonists of JRPGs hated on by Western gamers.

The most hated protagonanist are probably the FF one because they are "angsty" and "look like girl" yet it's the best selling serie in the west. These are the most hated due to there popularity, in order for something to gather a big amount of hate it need to be know, if something is not popular enough then it's just ignored.
