Bolded 2: DQX was announced on December 2008, but there hasn't been two consecutive main entries in the DQ series since the 80's that took less than 4 years in between, so as a good case scenario Japan will be seeing DQX in 2012 and the West luckily in 2013.

Uh, you mean since the 1990s. :P

DQIV (1990) -> DQV (1992) -> DQVI (1995)

 

And to counterpoint, there's never been a DQ announced before the previous installment released either.  Changes are DQIX and DQX had R&D cycles that overlapped, which a first for the series.
