Sales wise it's way smaller than DOA 5 back in 2012:
02./00. [PS3] Dead or Alive 5 # <FTG> (Koei Tecmo) {2012.09.27} (¥8.190) - 66.58 NEW
10./00. [360] Dead or Alive 5 # <FTG> (Koei Tecmo) {2012.09.27} (¥8.190) - 14.811 / NEW
But nowadays in Japanese market not even Tekken can achieve these numbers
[PS4] Tekken 7 (Bandai Namco, 06/01/17) – 58,736 (New)
That's why companies started trying to appeal more to western market, fighting games aren't a trend in Japanese market anymore.
DOA 6 numbers aren't stellar but after all the controversy I think it endured it well, probably because the core values situation.
If Koei want to attract more Japanese players they have to launch an Arcade version. I think Shimbori said something about this but I hope they release it before a enhanced version like with DOA5 Ultimate.
