I remember people saying it wouldnt do well because, the 3ds version wasnt coming to the west and the switch version being delayed...
Kinda like with monster hunter, people where saying it would do badly because it wasnt on a nintendo system.

Look how things turned out okay anyways?
I expect this means future Dragon Quest titles also come to playstation + pc.

Also they released it in a busy part of the year, with plenty of competition.
just makes it all the more impressive.

I could be wrong on this, but I never saw anyone say that in relation to NA? In fact I feel like the consensus has been that Japan supports it's legacy consoles for significantly longer than the west in general. Meaning, 3DS games don't still sell here. I have heard people mention that in relation to sales of the Japanese version, but even then that's really only an admittance that the legs might be significantly better due to a future port. 

I don't think it's comparable at all to Monster Hunter, but I may be wrong. God, that was a terrible time to be an optimistic Monster Hunter fan. Literally had people saying they wished it would fail just because it wasn't on a portable.
