I think the OP means why hasn't there been any footage or anything of the game shown, not why isn't it out.  Though with Dragon Quest IX released recently and Dragon Quest X not officially anounced I'm guessing there might be some internal debate right now on the game (gameplay, console, something).  On another note the reason Dragon Quest IX took 4 years to develop is becaue they had to completely change the gameplay mid way through development or else it would have been released a lot sooner.

DQIX changed it's game design (from ARPG to RPG) just six months after it started.  It did get hit with several delays though, it was planned to launch in spring 2008 originally.

It was delayed roughly a year, 6 months of work scrapped plus the time to R&D the gameplay mechanics accounts for that.  I'm just saying it's not gonna take 4 years like before and they didn't show anything at TGS so I'm personally thinking they're working on some issues with the game.
