I can't see how Square-Enix - a handheld and mobile focused company now - will release their biggest franchise - in a handheld and mobile focused country - only on a home console. Then again, Square-Enix isn't a very intelligent firm, so maybe it will be on the PS4. My guesses are that it will be a launch title on the next handheld and because of Nintendo's unified OS it will be playable when they release their next home-console in 2017. The next Nintendo handheld should release late next year, so it would line up quite fine. Maybe they'll port it to the PS4 as well (which shouldn't be replaced until 2018.) A mobile port is guaranteed as well. That all would fit in line with the "play on big screen" comment.

It could be a case of moneyhatting. Square made Rise of the Tomb Raider exclusive even if the franchise was coming from a recovery from its downfall to irrelevance when the previous game actually sold better on PS3.

The payoff would have to exceed the opportunity cost. Which I doubt it. A DQ for 3DS would make big dollars because of low development costs and high sales.
