I think Dragon Quest X is going to be moved to a DS title (or DS successor) and maybe S-E will give Nintendo a "console companion" with its own quests for the Wii so as to not upset relations.

The DS one will sell 4 mill, and hey they'll probably squeeze 2 mill out of the Wii version, so win-win.

DQIX is easily going to be the best selling DQ of all time ... they're not going to move the franchise away from the DS now just because consoles .... uh ... offer a bigger screen. 


Only 2 mil? Yeha, I really doubt that.

I think you misunderstood what I'm saying -- I think Square-Enix will make TWO versions of Dragon Quest X -- one for the DS and one for the Wii. 

Capcom basically already does this same thing with Monster Hunter, only they use the Wii/PSP, as of course the PSP is going to get Monster Hunter 3, probably next year. They make one version for consoles and another for portables. 

I can see Square-Enix doing the same with DQX, only with Wii + DS. Maybe there could even be some connectivity between the two versions. They are not going to abandon the DS market, it clearly is far and away the no.1 platform in Japan.

As such I could see DQX on DS selling the usual 3-4 million, and the Wii version adding another 2 million. This type of a release could actually make Square-Enix a lot more money.
