I think it was probably successful because it was a passable Hammond/Rhodes emulator, robust and hugely more portable than the real things. And it had a quite pleasantly playable keyboard action.
I can comment from the 'scene' I was in at the time and the DX7 EP sound was the bizness... even from people who did not even own a Rhodes or care for its sound; granted this is small country and the cost of equipment had a huge impact on its popularity; but when a classically trained, jazz-gospel pianist teacher bought one and started playing at all the concerts it set the std for a whole generation of young players...
