Review/Subjective Quality aside
The major issue in Japan is that it is a fairly short game, without a lot of replay value. Most of the copies sold first week ended up in the used shop second week. So 500K is about the top in Japan. I think it was the most frontloaded Wii release yet.
There won't be that issue eslewhere but Drangon Quest is not nearly so loved in other territories.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
