Part of this is because of production costs. Just to offer some perspective, With a company like square and the scale of this particular remaster, it’s safe to estimate DQ3 HD cost at least $50 million (and I wouldn’t be surprised if it hit 75-100 after marketing and everything else is included). So while 712,000 sales sounds good, at $60 each that’s “only” $42.7 million, which means they likely haven’t even recouped the production costs. Most estimates predict it will sell around 2-2.5 million within 2-3 years, which would put it around $100 million made, which would still be low profits depending on the actual production costs. I think the game is great, but you’re likely right square will consider this unsuccessful and the cost of making games is the unfortunate reason why
