I'm a bit disappointed right now. I thought I'd see an actual statement from Square Enix D:

Although, considering the system has just launched in Japan and (so far) is about to reach the Vita's lifetime sales (not to mention its sales, although not on par with 3DS, are at least surpassing PS3, I'm sure we'll hear something sometime next year.

But DQX will undoubtedly be a seller.

In Japan it will.  Elsewhere much less so.  In order for SE to commit gigantic resources to Wii U, they would need to be assured it would be a property that would sell well in all three territories.  Crystal Chronicles didn't exactly sell well either on GCN or Wii.  I think it'd more likely Wii U gets a port or two of a Kingdom Hearts or DQ, but I would be surprised if they took FF from Sony's platforms.  

Japan loves handhelds, that's where Nintendo gets all the big Japanese support.  Don't see that trend changing the way things are going.

Could they strike a deal, like they did with DQ IX where Nintendo distributed the title in America and Japan? It reached decent sales, and can make the Wii U the "House of the JRPG", if it is a success more Japanese companies (including Square-Enix) will follow
