first off you say you won't go off topic..but doing just that

second of course not..heck GT can't be even run on the wii..heck at least use a similar game/genre/sales potential

third if you for a second think DQX wouldn't have done well on ps3 you are being delusional..the system is doing really well on RPG sales front and has much better momentum currently than the wii in Japan

fourth, as I have said so many times already, I doubt any of you can come up with a proper decent argument against why DQX should have gone multiplat with the ps3..ps3 can more than handle the games visuals, it's already being developed for wiiu so dev time is not the concern either and ps3 has a really good rpg fanbase and selling really well currently. this only benefits ninty and they obviously money hatted the project hence the current result. am I angry about it? hell no...the only RPG's I've enjoyed this gen are Valkyria chronicles/Demon Souls/PSP FF games. the best approach for better sales would have been to go multi with ps3 or handhelds or both.

you know what, better than going off topic here why don't you make a thread about this? and actually put some decent arguments as why my opinion is wrong in your view and we can really have a good discussion. you can even quote this answer in it to kick things off

Don't make a thread, chances are it'll just turn into the carnival of stupid. DQ X would sell well on pretty much any platform, it's DQ. DQ also isn't known for multiplat anyway...yes it's coming to the WIi U as well, but rather as a port, it's more like an extension to the Wii getting it since you can even use the same profile on both consoles. Clearly there's a deal between NIntendo and SE with the series right now. But that's just the way it is.

which is pretty much the reality of it and is what I said. the only thing is tho doesn't matter if it a port or not since most multiplats are ported over from the lead platform afaik, wii/wiiu IS going multiplatform by definition. it's like ps3/vita games...connected but two platforms.

Isn't Nintendo publishing this game or something?

 I believe the deal to be similar to the Dragon Quest deal. Nintendo promised to try to make the series a success in the West.

A charge usually brought against Nintendo consoles is that only their own titles sell. So, publishing series like DQ or Monster Hunter with the same support Nintendo gives their own titles makes them appear as Nintendo properties. That alone increases the chances of success significantly.

At least that is what I think Nintendo promised. Sony would have given them money for exclusivity as well, but their chances of turning MonHun and DQ into global brands might be lower than Nintendo's in the developers' eyes.

A quote from a GAF poster that I agree with. You say this only benefits Nintendo. If that were true the devs wouldn't make it exclusive would they. It benefits SE too.

Edit: Also, if you're such a big fan of DQ ( As I assumed from reading your posts), how about playing on the console it's on. What does it matter if it's on a Nintendo or Sony console? Favorite Franchises > brand loyalty.

I don't get it..most of you guys seem to read what you THINK is there yet you end up saying exactly the same thing I'm saying...this is getting silly. OFCOURSE there must be some sort of a deal going on between the two parties...if not it's a rather stupid business move

btw I strongly disagree on the MH/DQ global appeal crap..sony has done it before..give them the chance and they will do it again :) Sony has maintained great sales for RPG's in and out of Japan. and honestly man..how the hell can you argue a multiplat release wouldn't have benefited SE and sales? I mean really? none of you have yet to come up with one decent argument against that. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what's going on here.they made it exclusive cuz Ninty 'sponsored' them. nothing more nothing less and I'm getting tired of repeating myself without being understood and argued back with fluff. I mean hell MHTri didn't sell even a million outside of Japan now did it? so much for the global appeal creation. devs can't be THAT stupid surely. DQ never had a big appeal on home consoles outside of Japan, it's just the nature of the game. But the highest selling home console DQ belongs to a sony platform also. I would be honestly surprised if the next MonHun on home consoles didn't end up on ps3...would be ideal to go multiplat with WiiU

and no, if you read my posts you will see I have clearly stated I don't give a rats ass about this series or most RPG's in general so this doesn't affect me the slightest. I'm just pointing out the obvious, it would have done much better going multi wii/ps3 and wiiu sales wise, only logical reason it didn't was cuz of a dealing between the companies. logic > jumping to conclusions, I bought a ds for games like Layton..would have bought a wii too if I had few games in it that really interested me..but it doesn't..I have access to xboxes very conveniently hence why I played Halo reach and others and had no problem. Don't misunderstand the kind of gamer I am..thanks to new layton games etc I will without fail buy a 3ds sooner or later as well
