Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Ni No Kuni on the DS sold better in Japan than the PS3 version, and the DS version never got a western release.

You are correct
Ni No Kuni DS launched 1st and the PS3 version came out like a year later. They had to make sure that the DS version would be taken seriously because nobody would've took it seriously if the DS and PS3 versions came out at thrthe same time. The majority would've just bought it on PS3 since it was the bigger and better looking version while reviewers would've criticised the DS version more being that the PS3 version would've been right there to compare it to

Was that really the reason or your personal theory?

Speculation or educated guess
Level 5 likes Nintendo just as much as Sony so i don't believe Nintendo moneyhatted them to make the ds version come out 1st. They had to have did it on their own. Its usual with ps3 in japan anyways when it comes to jrpgs. They make a game and then they have PlayStation as their rebound to make more cash.
