‘Dragon Quest X’ sales below expectations- Since when? I thought it was doing well?

Those sales are excellent for a MMO, for comparison sake Final Fantasy XI sold 120k in its first year

That's right.  Comparing subscription based MMO to RPG sales is not apples to apples.  FFXI was very profitable and it sold nowhere near the number of the regular numbered franchise.
