I don't think they are gonna release it without a TGS showing before. Looks like a 2012 release or luckily a 2011 Holidays release, but that's unlikely IMHO, just 2 years and a half would be a very short span for a main DQ game. I think it's a summer 2012 game.

It could still be at TGS 2011, even with a spring/ summer 2011 release. DQMBRV and DQMJ2 were still at TGS after all, as was DQIX after it's summer release. Also, Jump Fiesta is a more important event than TGS for DQ, so a debut there instead is pretty likely as well. Still, it's also possible Nintendo might've asked for it to be held back from TGS this year in leu of their own event. We'll find out in another 30 hours or so.... exciting!
And again, DQX started development before DQIX was finished, and DQIX itself was delayed almost a year. Considering that, 2-2.5 years (rather than the usual 4-5 years) isn't really all that unlikely.

DQIX was showcased during TGS 2008, then released later in 2009 and was playable during TGS 2009. DQX doesn't even have an official name or logo. There's really nothing known about it. Plus 2.5 years would be too little time for a main DQ game and hasn't happened since the mid 90's. I think they could be aiming for a 3DS/Wii simultaneous release but that would mean an even further delay.
It's a 2012 game IMO, no matter how hard Nintendo tries otherwise. I'd say it releases after Wii's successor has hit the market.

DQX won't be on 3DS, that's not how DQ works really. DQXI probably will though.
And you aren't seeming to understand, the circumstances between DQIX/X versus DQIX/VIII or DQVIII/VII or DQVII/VI are pretty dramatically different... this is the first time we've seen two DQ games in development at the same time, and DQX supposedly started development back in 2008 even. Now obviously, DQIX ran into problems that pushed it back (going from ARPG to RPG, networking issues, etc) and those might've also effected DQX's original timetables (provided it's Level-5 developing both) but it's pretty clear the plan this time around was a swifter release schedule than we'd seen the previous decade for the series. The frequency of DQ remakes and spinoffs has also increased notably, you can't really look at the series on PS1 or PS2 and try and correlate that directly to where it is now on DS/Wii. Just like looking at DQ in FC or SFC didn't relate directly to PS1 and PS2.
