| binary solo said: Well if Japan is their primary market Wii U has the bigger install base, so either Wii U exclusive, or Wii U / PS4 multiplat. |
Except it would be PS3/PS4 which is way larger than Wii U install base. And SE will actually localize this game if it comes to PlayStation so no point in saying Japan only.

This, pretty much. If they are going to release on multiple consoles, it will be developed on PS4, then downported to PS3 for a simultaneous release in Japan, and if it gets localized, a PS4 only release everywhere else. I could see it being PS4 only if this ends up being some plan to drive up PS4 sales in Japan seeing the popularity of the last two major releases (excluding X) in Japan.

Well there is this next week:

Though I'm assuming this will be first screens for DQH2
I don't think there'll be a PS3 version, otherwise DQH wouldn't be PS4-only in the west.

You have your logic a little mixed up there. DQH is PS4 only in the West because the PS4 is selling well in the West. It's selling not nearly as well in Japan (no home console is), so it's likely that, at least in Japan, it will be on both PS3 and PS4 to make up for sales they wouldn't get from it being a PS4 exclusive. It doesn't push more PS4 systems in Japan that way, which is certainly problematic in the long run, but it sells more copies of the game to the market where it will sell the best by far to begin with.
Edit: To note, it isn't an uncommon move at this point for Japan releases that came out on PS3 or PS4 and PS3 in Japan to only come west on the PS4. They're slowly phasing out PS3 releases of Japanese games in the West as they're becoming less necessary to facilitate the success of releases overseas.
hope it would still be for both home and handheld. remember Japan is more into handheld, but they should cater home consoles too for the western audience.

This isn't getting released soon though.. the PS3's situation in Japan will have caught up with its western situation by then
