Boutros said: DQX won't come out until the end of this year. Until then, the Wii won't sell very well and will be down compared to next year. The PS3 will come out on top for most weeks. The Holidays will have a much bigger impact on the Wii than DQX. |
I think it'll be a bit of both, like NSMBWii was. You can see this year what Wii's holiday lift is like without a 3-4m selling title, it's been down quite a bit. I also expect DQX to get the full MH3 treatment, so you can probably expect it to launch bundled with the 4th Wii color (probably Blue, possibly Platinum).
And honestly, it wouldn't surprise me at all if after DQVIII/IX, Horii and Hino decided to go a bit more traditional for DQX and play up on the nostalgia... so something more narrative, directed, solitary, offline. Nostalgia seems to play especially well with the Wii base, and it's an easy approach marketing wise. Just do like Mario.
