Wada said he expects Wii's successor in 2011, I sort of think that means they're at least planning to release DQX before/by then. I'm betting fall 2011, which would be just over 2 years after DQIX. Of course there's also always good chance that it'll hit some snag and get delayed (just like DQVII/VIII/IX all were actually).
Considering when DQX was announced, I think Armor Project and Level-5 likely started preproduction well before DQIX even released. The infrequency of DQ releases is something Square Enix has lamented before, and with FF now also getting more infrequent (and costly!), I can see Wada taking action to try and speed things up.
