Not bad.

However, you made one mistake. The Vita will not be getting Dragon Quest X. No console other than those made by Nintendo will be getting DQX, at least for the next 10 years. It just won't happen; Nintendo wouldn't allow their killer app in Japan for the WiiU to be stolen by another company.


I wouldn't be so sure. Their "killer app" was exclusive the ps2 back in 2004, and then it move  to the DS and then was announced for the Wii. To me this  doesn't seem like this the result major bargaining power on the behalf of nintendo but instead, square picking whatever system was most popular at the time. Square announced DQX back in 2008 when the wii selling at the speed of light. The systems active userbase is now drying up, as seen by the poor sales of zelda and the lack of new games. Im sure given some incentive square would put it on the Vita. After all they will benefit from a wider platform of release. As for nintendo stoping it from going multiplat, DQ isn't Nintedo's killer app in japan, theres been one major title released in the last 5 years and it wad released whilst the DS was already a mega success. Nintendo isn't going to waste money trying to secure exclusivity for a title which they will benefit from anyways. 

I'm well aware that the series moved, but it was for one installment only, and all DQ games have been exclusive to one company.

 

Don't expect that to change.

You say your aware but why was that one game on Sonys platform? Square has no loyalty to nintendo they put it on the ps2 because it will sell more. Its simply a matter of money.

Correct. It is a matter of money. So why would SE put a game on a console which is struggling in Japan, the main market for the game. 

And if you reckon Nintendo haven't organised some exclusivity deal with SE, likely the same as MH4, then you're pretty naive. Nintendo won't let this get snatched from them, and so, it's not going to the Vita, or any other console (aside from maybe the 3DS).


We agree its a matter of money, so surely Sony's money + wii + vita +wii U sales= more money for square as opposed to it remaining exclusive to Wii/Wii U. Exclusivity deals aren't the result of every single exclusive game and even still they do not prevent further negotiations. Look at FFXIII going multiplatform.
