Well, it's interesting you say that given MH3 outsold every game you just mentioned besides FFXIII. Other games on Wii that sold in the range of the titles you mentioned include Monster Hunter G, Resident Evil UC, Samurai Warriors 3, Twilight Princess, Fire Emblem, Tales of Symphonia/Graces... again, I'm not exactly seeing an issue for audience here?
I'd also argue that Dragon Quest, being a series two decades old and deeply rooted in nostalgia and timeless themes, likely has an older average audience than Persona actually. It's inclusive, while Persona's more niche, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a sizable mature audience. And really, Persona's even been reinventing itself to appeal to more shonen audience starting with P3, unlike the more obtuse and dark dungeon crawling Megatens of yesteryear... and coincidentally, it's on DS, arguably the most youth focused platform this gen, that we've seen SMT draw backwards towards the older, more hardcore style too.
