The issue with that is the main series of both these franchises are handheld games. Dragon Quest went handheld with IX and Monster Hunter with MH4. In the future NIntendo will have a unified platform (with different form-factors) so that makes it tougher for Sony to compete in the Japanese space. If DQ XI releases on the next Nintendo handheld it is also going to be playeable on their next home console. Making a separate console entry of the game moot. Sony is also going this path though with their interconnectivity with tablets and PC's. As it stands now the 3DS is on track to becoming a 20 million Japanese console, while the PS4 would be lucky to match PS3 sales in Japan. The Wii U is also remaining competitive in Japan, and unless Monster Hunter and/or Dragon Quest DO come to the PS4 as exclusives, I can't see that changing.
