Why didn't Dragon Quest take off in the west with Dragon Quest 11?

Jokes aside, JRPGs do very well on the Switch, and with the userbase growing (and the fact many people are waiting for this version), it could end up selling really well, probably reaching PS4 numbers in a short time.

What reasoning do you have that a Switch version would outsell the PS4 versions lifetime "in a short time"?

I did not say it would outsell it, I said that it would catch up to its numbers soon. Considering how well the Switch is selling everywhere, plus the fact that JRPGs sell really well in handhelds, it has a chance of reaching the PS4 numbers rather fast. Outsell it? Maybe, but it has the problem of being a very late port, which is SE's fault.
