Unlike last holiday season, this year PS3 will have a really big game Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Gran Turismo is no longer a big title in Japan). PS3 only lost by less than 100k units.

In fairness, Wii also didn't have a big game for 2010, and it still has the possibility of getting DQX this holiday...

With each passing day I'm becoming more and more pessimistic about this title. On one hand we know Square Enix hates Wii on the other hand it is a Yuji Horii game so he has the last word. If Dragon Quest X doesn't make it this year it will be a huge mistake because by 2012 Wii will be completely dead and they will lose at least a potential million copies because I don't see Dragon Quest X selling more than 2 or 2.5 millions units after next Christmas.

I have to agree... if DQX doesn't make 2011, I don't think it'll be a Wii game any more.  It's got to be holiday 2011 at the absolute latest.  If it does happen though, I could see a mini-NSMB style Wii revival, which would be a nice send off for the system.

Also worrying, insiders at GAF were told there'd be a Dec 2010 reveal, and that came and went with no word at all.  I think 3DS is actually looking more and more likely by the day.  

Actually have they ever shown any trailer or screenshots  of DQ X ? That's extremly strange behaviour for a game that could arrive in 2011. I consider this silence a sign that it is developed for yet not annouced console (read Wii2). If they were aiming at 3ds they would say so already
