Why didn't Dragon Quest take off in the west with Dragon Quest 11?

RPGs, especially JRPGs, do not do well in the US for the same reason RTS games don't do well, it requires too much investment. US gamers like US citizens need the high quickly, thus why FPS games do super well.

*should be noted that "well" is in context of its comparison with other genres like FPS*

games like persona 5, nier automata, xenoblade, ff15 and kingdom hearts seold the most in the US though, even more than in Japan.

That's why I included the asterix. The US gaming population is huge and I was think percentage more than sheer number. However, rpgs are doing better here than 5-10 years ago.
