I'm gonna hit you.

DQX is as likely to be released in 2011 as most of those titles and it's more JRPG than pretty much every non-DQ JRPG in existence, so you better put it on there, ;(!

considering that he put Xenoblade on the list I have to assume he's basing it on US releases and I'd have to disagree, there is basically no chance in hell that DQX would make it to NA in 2011.  I can't find any DQ with a time between JP and NA release less than a year so unless it gets released Japan in the next 7 days I'd say you're boned.

I'm not so sure. He said that The Last Story's chances of coming to the West are grim yet he still put that on there so I think he's going by "if it releases anywhere" basis.

Oh, and DQX could be surprisingly "outside of Japan" oriented (so it may release closer to Japanese release outside of Japan than usual); the Wii base is tiny in Japan so they might as well have announced the game as a Wii/PS3 multiplatform or on DS if they wanted to sell it there. I believe that, this time, they want to try to popularize the series outside of Japan using Wii's massive base and increased advertising assistance from Nintendo.
