I dont think so.

DQX seems to have some Nintendo investment in it, and besides, by the time it is ready to release, the Wii will only have more owners in Japan.


You are also assuming that the Move will (excise the pun) move a lot of units. I don't really see it doing insanely good, or moving new consoles. Firstly, only originality sells, and this seems too "me 2" even though its different from the Wii remote. Secondly, the main, hardcore Sony fanbase already owns the console. 80-90% of PS2 owners last gen were casuals, many of whom the Wii and 360 have sucked up.


And also, it doesnt matter what platform DQ realeses on; its gonna sell. The Wii isnt bad for 3rd party software (look @ MH3) its just that developers dont put time into their games.


Besides, you're overlooking development costs. At the end of the day, because development costs are, at best half of what it would be on PS3 (but realistically 1/4 to 1/3) then SE has a larger profit margin. At the end of the day, Wii is the best platform for DQ. Its the best platform for many things, it just hasn't been given that chance yet.

Edit: Carl, you have to realize that the biggest game for the PS3 in Japan was FF13, and even that failed to meet the expectations SE had when they started to develop the games way back in 2005-06 (everyone thought the PS3 was gonna be market leader this gen...).  The PS3 rules, and is an awesome console, but the last big gun Sony really has in Japan is GT5.  Nintendo still has DQX to release, and we don't know how well new IP's Xenoblade and Last Story will do. 

DQX will stay on Wii.  Its as simple as that.
