Marketing is the reason, in my opinion. I don't think graphics are the major deal, look how popular Wii and DS are this generation, with weaker graphical technology. It's not like the DQ games are ugly or anything, they have some very good art in them. I do think it has the appeal that it could be a very popular series outside of Japan. It just needs to have the proper channels for getting the word of the game into people's ears, and the game itself into player's hands.
Anyway, the irony is that the game was made with a western market in mind. Considering the game was medieval fantasy, it wasn't expected by anyone to do very well in Japan. The first one was a surprise hit, and the series has never had a weak moment, and has trended upwards in popularity since it was introduced.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
