hmm by your logic hori should develop for PC then, because ps4 still bound to outdate hardware ! DQXI 4k resolution and 60fps wow !
mainline dragon quest always been released at the most popular console on japan since hori didn't want weak hardware to cripple him on the development
well good for him for choosing PC

Don't put words into my mouth, I said ridiculously outdated, the 3DS is maybe a little more powerful than a PS2. Also I didn't say they wanted to commit financial suicide, by releasing on PS4 they might leave some money on the table (though Sony would probably gladly pitch in some cash for a game like this as well) by releasing on PC they'd completely crash in a market like Japan.
Also you don't have to act as if we're still just making assumptions about this coming to console, that has been confirmed by Horii himself.

nah he never confirmed for ps4 version yet , what he mean by home console well
This is speculation until we could get our hands on the original Japanese, but he most likely gave no confirmation whatsoever.
In Japanese, game devices (console & handheld) are called Kateiyou Game-ki 家庭用ゲーム機 (which translates to household game-device). This is a general term and includes stationary consoles (Sueoki-ki 据置機, stationary device) as well as handhelds (携帯機 Keitai-ki, portable device).
The term itself is meant to differentiate from Arcade-machines back in the day and phone-games today.
So to summarize, I am quite sure he said Kateiyou Game-ki, because the console-specific term Sueoki-ki is rather unusual, and he most likely wanted to point out it's not going to be on mobile.
