Clearly for launch the shipments were high for most games, otherwise Zelda would be close to sold out. I think for that price, it would be normal for PS systems. But for Nintendo systems the price might seem obscene to most buyers, even if it is a good deal.

Some retailer could sell 6 games for 25000 yen or similar deals and it would be a good deal and in fact better deal then DQ, but nobody would buy it due to the high asking price. 

Low asking price is actually a pretty good explanation for why GTAV and Minecraft continue to show legs. With that said, I do not expect any legs to speak of for DQ without price promotions.

And again shipments determined if it sold bad or not. The shipments is even low in the first place. They only shipped 55K-65K if my math is correct. and If they only sold half  of i then it is bad. 

Your 2nd paragraph is really strethcing it. Obviously no one will buy 6 games  for 25000 yen for it's asking price that's too high.  6900  Yen and 8800 yen is just a small difference.  That's not high considering 2 complete games is available at that price.
