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

Greed. Dragon Quest IX is the best selling game of the franchise but they had to turn X into an MMO in an attempt to earn even more $$$.

I blame Sleeping Dogs too for their financial results.

nonsense, Sleeping dogs sold more than a million, it made profit to them with the legs it had.

FFXIV:ARR is the probable reason for this, as it consumed most of the companies resources. DQX beeing the issue i seriously doubt. It sold really well for an MMO, i would just like to know how the retention was in subscribers. Also, the Wii U is a much better platform for it due to the touch screen doubling as a keyboard and mic.

"Squre Enix before it released its report had warned about lower than expected sales for Sleeping Dogs"

This was late November and the Christmas sales boost was pretty much expected.
