The price has to be a joke
A remake of a NES game...

Come on bro.

Barely anyone will buy this and then they will assume that people just don't want to play these games. Wrong. Just don't ask a full AAA game price for a 40 year old nes jrpg.

It's actually a tremendously high number for a single player JRPG. It's the #6 most played single player JRPG of all time on Steam, in fact.
So you think Dragon Age the Veilgurad is a successful RPG as well going by this logic.

Numbers don't lie.

Going by sales figures and concurrent player numbers? Yeah, seems it is actually. Which is honestly a bit of a genuine surprise to me.

EDIT: That said, it was also much, MUCH more expensive to develop and had a longer development cycle as well, so the targets it needs to hit to be profitable are likely much higher. And, past that, the JRPG genre is a much more niche market, so the numbers you'd expect to see are going to be wildly different.

That's a small number for a supposed 'popular' game.
The bulk of the sales is in Japan, on Switch.

Persona 5 says this is not true.

Why do you keep bringing up games that have nothing to do with this discussion? It's feeling an awful lot like you just don't have a fact based argument.

Alas, it looks like DQ10's PC version, neither the prior MMO version or the later offline version, ever got releases outside of Japan.

Not true I am in east Asia, though from USA. And not in Japan. Its buyable in a some countries, regions now.

While not localized. They nowvh as ve sn online and offline English patches. And somebody even made a launcher for deck.

China, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, China that I know of. Probably a few more Asian countries.

I mean I bought it tonight via Vietnam steam. But originally bought it in release via Japan. But now I can do all on msin account and later play dq x online via deck.

Oh, my mistake here, I was looking at the release region for the MMO version. The offline version was Japan and the south-east Asia region. It isn't available outside those regions though. My mistake!
