i'm still waiting for a dragen quest on ps3. 

Never going to happen.  Hori's so deep in Nintendo's pockets I doubt he even lets SE release the PS1 DQ games on PSN...


tetsuya is also deep in Sony 's pockets but many say versus 13 will come to 360 so never say never

If it happens, it'll be due to market forces (ie: western sales) and likely against Nomura's wishes.

Hori's in an entirely different situation.  He's already supporting the established market leader (Nintendo) and unlike Nomura, his company (Armor Project) actually holds a stake in the Dragon Quest copyright.  He has ultimate say over DQ, while with something like Versus, Wada (not Nomura) has the ultimate decision making abilities.

PS3 will never see a DQ game though.  It's best chance is maybe getting DQVII/IV on PSN, and even that looks unlikely at best.  

Actually Square-Enix is the one to say where the next DQ will go ,they support nintendo because of the latest DQ+DS hits (ix,iv,v,vi and many others)  it is the most profitable way to make money for them low production cost for a DS game and huge sales like DQ9 in Wii 's case they announced DQX for it long AGO (MARCH 2009) not a single screenshot of it with ps3 gaining ground in japan just don 't be surprised if DQX releases on(also) PS3 in japan

Actually, you're wrong.  Check the copyrights, Square Enix only co-owns the IP.  They're actually split between Square Enix, Armor Project (Hori's company) and Bird Studio (Toriyama's company).  And Hori gets pretty much free reign because of that (always has, likely always will).

Wii has double the userbase PS3 does in Japan.   PSP similarly resurged and started selling at near parity with DS in 2008, that didn't bring them DQIX... at this point FFXIII hitting Wii is more likely than DQX hitting PS3.  It's just never going to happen.
