WHY DQ isn't popular in America

Hello!Nice to meet you.
I'm a Japanese.
Well...I have a question.
Why the Dragonquest (In America it called DragonWarrior) isn't popular in America?
DragonQuest is most popular RPG in Japan (than finalfantasy).
It's wonder for me.
WHY?
Could you tell me your thinking(opinion?)about it?

Sorry,Poor English.

I liked Dragon Quest...

It's kind of simple, straightforward, and is classic sword and sorcery.  It didn't get all stupid like Final Fantasy did by trying to "evolve".  I think Final Fantasy 7 was the last FF game I ever actually enjoyed with Final Fantasy 6 being number one with FFIV and FFI following close behind.

When will people learn that simple is best and that you don't need a pretentious, pseudo intellectual story to have a good game.  Some people just like a game where you assemble a stout and hearty crew of adventurers and slay dragons and demons.  I could not care any less about unrequited loves, government subsidies, blah blah blah.

I no longer want to see bishonen with boyish good looks and androgynous charm.  I want to see barbarians, Dark Knights, Dwarves and Elvish beauties.  That is what is wrong with RPGs today.
