Wizardry 7 outsold Ultima Underworld in 1992 by a margin of two-to-one
in almost every market in the world.

Grimoire will garner superb reviews from anyone who plays it and some
will say, indeed, this is the best roleplaying game ever written. I
doubt if they same can be said for Wizardry 8, assuming it is ever
finished.
