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

No screens or even a title yet.  Literally all we know about DQX is that is coming for Wii. :/

In recent interviews though, Horii just reconfirmed more DQ games are coming to Wii and that's what they're now focusing on, which is encouraging.  DQX is the big one, but even a DQVII remake would be a surefire million seller for Wii, and might help the struggling hardware sales.

Having games revealed and released the same year isn't really anything new though, even for Square Enix.  Look at FFXIII-2, that game was just announced, shown and it's releasing this holiday.  Or even the last Wii Dragon Quest title (Monster Battle Road Victory), it was announced less than six months before it hit shelves.  DQVI DS was also a no show for years, and then suddenly had media and a release date four months later.

True, its possible it will be announced and will be released relatively quickly. i'm concerned about a Wii only release however, because the sales of The Last Story only recently. and DQ8 was released on PS2, so i think its possible for a multiplatform release, not to mention SEs financial woes, so i think a multiplatform release could be on the cards.

although, i would be quite interested in seeing whats next for the series, because DQ8 was a very good game. and there seems to be small fanbase in the west that will grow with subsequent installments imo.
