You say that as if DQ never sold great on Sony systems before. DQ8 is the second best selling one in the series on PS2.  Let's be honest here this game is likely 3-4 years away. SE has stated in the past that they won't release more then one AAA high budget game in a fiscal year. They already have KH3 and FFXV coming to PS4. It doesn't have to be exclusive but a Wii U/PS4 multi plat release would be better if they plan on localizing which is best for SE since they need all the money they can get atm. 


No, I didnt say that as if DQ never sold well with Sony.

I said that the previous main entry and best selling entry, was on a Nintendo handheld platform that was the market leader at the time. The 3DS holds that place now, Worldwide and more importantly, where Dragon Quest thrives - Japan.

When you also consider that the 3DS already holds a chunk of the Dragon Quest fanbase (here, here and here), the absolute best possible option for Dragon Quest XI is the 3DS.


Okay, I agree the absolute best option is to put on 3DS considering the install base. But I wouldn't quite call it "idiotic" to put it on PS4 either. The fanbase argument of the remakes is irrelevant. It didn't matter for Capcom to switch from PSP to 3DS for Monster Hunter and MH had a huge fanbase on PSP. The point I am trying to make is I believe the fanbase is for the franchise and not the platform or manufacturer and will buy it either way. (Provided it's not an MMO)
