So to recap:

-DQX is for the Wii and Wii U

-they did not say if they are releasing at the same time but the team is making the wii U version graphically superior.

-they will play in the same world

-you can play the game offline like WKC but it seems to be more MMO-ish.

-you can create your own home and have friends visit you like WKC

-you fight the enemies in a battle screen.

-fighting style and online play similar to WKC.

Can't SE come up with its own ideas instead of copying Level-5?

WKC took alot of things from FFXII, and other MMO's... it goes back and forth.

so its just wii then? unless dev time for a ps3 release was too expensive of a move or this is a stupid move considering the state of ps3/wii in japan

either way I just joined so any new game announcements or is it just DQX?

How so? The Wii has around twice the userbase of the PS3 in Japan. Just because 2011 looks like being the first year the PS3 will have outsold the Wii in Japan doesn't mean that the PS3 has overtaken the Wii. SE will be looking to shift at least 3.5m units of this game there - the Wii has a much better track record of selling games in those kind of numbers in Japan than the other current home consoles.

for a second there I almost went into a detail reply but then realized it will derail this thread. Let's keep it for another instance shall we. All I will say is the size of the overall userbase is not the only factor to consider. but yea let's leave that one for a later discussion

Sales/profit would surely be the main factor - the Wii offers more potential purchasers than the PS3, and a better track record of shifting 3m+ units of major releases. Now a PS3 port may have widened the potential sales net, but maybe SE have such a belief in the DQ brand that they figure whoever wants it and doesn't own either a Wii or WiiU will buy one in order to do so, making a port an unneccessary expense.

That or Nintendo have slipped them some cash.

if they are already making a wiiu version the unneccessary expense excuse goes out the window as well

I suggested going multi with ps3 would have been wiser, the audience would have been much larger, hence the larger install base argument is not valid

don't underestimate the ps3..this is the system where tales of G version outsold the Wii LT sales in the first week itself, I think it had the potential to surprise us..the system has a big RPG fanbase

the momentum ps3 has over wii at the moment should be pretty evident...it has outsold wii in every week (bar one week maybe :S can't remember) so far this year..and with xillia and FF13-2 the momentum will keep going...either way it should have been wii/wiiU and ps3

I think the answer is rather simple..as your last sentence mentions..ninty and SE must have had a deal from the start if not then a stupid move overall

Looks absolutely amazing. I'm expecting a European release of 2013, pretty much one year after Japan. I'm just not sure whether we will get both versions or just WiiU.
