Final Fantasy VII was once on the list of expected N64 titles and even showed CGI footage using silicon graphics who were Nintendos partners at the time. We haven't seen nothing on DQX yet.

Except Square like every other dev didn't like the costs of N64 cartridges which bumped develpment costs up to a fortune which forced the jump. With DQ a requirement is that the platform has to be the top selling in Japan and to top it off Yuji Horii has full control over the IP and what he says goes and last November reconfirmed the game is still Wii bound after 3 years in development, at this point the PS3 can only hope for a multiplatform release other wise it'll have to sell 6m (it's total sales in the region since it's original release) in Japan with the Wii selling 0 units in 18. After DQIX's performance on the DS Horii isn't going to abandon the Wii overnight.

I just find it strange that after 3 years in development we havent seen nothing of the game.
IX's performance on DS is encouraging but 3rd party sales on Wii aren't. If it fails at retail then I should think a PS3/PSP2 port would be very likely.
How well do you all think DQX will sell on Wii? DQ is huge in Japan so on paper it should hit 2m easy right?
Also will DQX raise interest in the Wii in Japan and improve software sales overall? E.g Will TLS weekly sales rise significantly in the weeks following DQXs release?

TLS was in development for 4 years and we knew nothing about the game until some weeks before release.
