You also forget install bases.
PSP in Japan = 1.5* Wii
DS in Japan > 3* Wii
Not to mention, the Japanese prefer to buy handheld games.
I wasn't really getting at any sort of "it sells better on handhelds" type of thing, the mere obstacle of requiring triple the attach ratio (by present numbers, obviously) will be (going by present numbers) nearly impossible for DQX, and realistically speaking, I just can't see the situation changing that drastically come 2010 or 2011 or whenever DQX comes out.
Granted, Monster Hunter has a better chance than DQX of outselling handheld prequels, however, I just just can't see an attach ratio of >35% for the game. And if Monster Hunter isn't hitting 35% attach ratio, then Dragon Quest probably isn't hitting 60% either.
