 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

Since when was 1 mil a benchmark for "big appeal"? The game shipped 800k+ outside of Japan. This is bad now? DQ VIII sold a lot but DQ IX sold more than that, and Nintendo is very intent to continue pushing the game in the West. DQ IX shipped 1.02 mil+ outside of Japan which is great for a JRPG, as well as selling a ton in Japan.

That's not to say it wouldn't sell a lot as a Wii/PS3 multi game, but it's not very necessary.

seriously >_> you guys are way too defensive and hence see things that are not there. who said it's bad? hell thats good! never said anything to suggest its bad.

800+ is still less than 1 mil. so I didn't make a mistake in what I said, it's factually correct. you are also confusing this home console release with a handheld release. different story altogether there. IF this was a handheld game..by all means DS/3DS all the way! no need to bother with the psp at all for outside of japan. I wouldn't have even argued against that all. but this is home consoles we are talking about. different markets to consider. ninty has not displayed more capability here than Sony at all.

the simple reality here is if it was ps3 plus wii and maybe later wiiu it would have sold A LOT more than what it would now :) don't kid yourself thinking otherwise. SE aren't that stupid and if Ninty didn't make it worth their while they would have done just that.
