Before both games came out (and Nintendo had promised to market DQIX), I had predicted DQIX could sell more. Simply because I predicted FFXIII would sell less overall than its predecessors (which it did somwhat) and DQIX had a chance to sell more (which it is).
However, a combination of TONS of piracy and lack of stock of the game outside of Japan is keeping Dragon Quest IX from selling well in the US and Europe. Even if the game had a chance to outsell FFXIII, these factors kept it from doing so. When more people are downloading the game than buying it and stores are only putting 2-5 copies of the game on the shelf and waiting weeks to order more copies.
