There is no reason to wait : DQX is the main entry of a 4mns franchise while XIII-2 and versus XIII are just spin ofs of a 2mns franchise. The PS3 has already a main FF game while the Wii hasn't a main DQ game. The PS3 has already many RPGs fans as these games sell well on the system while the Wii hasn't . These are all arguments, proofs and facts what are yours? Do you have any at all?
You can wait if you want to see if the main entry of a 4Mns franchise is going to sell more than the main entry of a 2mns franchise if you want and you could also wait to see if the next Conduit is going to outsell the next COD if you want but you will be probably alone as every one else knows that the answer is obvious.

I didn't say DQX wouldn't sell 2 million, I said it wouldn't sell that much if it didn't release this year. Has a mainline DQ game ever released on an effectively dead console? Because that's the state the Wii will likely be in next year, probably selling at a 360-like level. And besides that it's clear the DQ fanbase isn't as active on the Wii as it used to be, you only need to compare Battle Road Victory with Swords to see that.

The thing is that it's not a sure fact at all that the Wii will be dead or even selling much less than the PS3 next year. This certainly has still to be proven. What is sure though is that it still will have a much bigger installed base than its competitors so even if it's selling "at 360-like level" (do you seriously expect that btw?) it will still have this huge userbase that is better insurance to sell well than a much smaller one especially for a 4mns franchise. DQ is going to attract many HCG but it is also a serie that sells well among casual gamers probably like the ones that buy 2D Mario games for exemple. So basically I don't see a reason why it shouldn't sell as much as the previous entries in the serie and I don't think you give a compelling reason for that to happen.
