Explain why DQX is on Wii, Wii U and 3DS, DQX in total has sold around 1.2m only 100k short of the total number of PS4s sold in Japan not rocket science to understand the comment, the numbers are on this very site, if it has sold 400k on Wii U as you say then the numbers on this site are undertracked and the game has more copies sold on then the are PS4s sold in Japan, it's a response to the guy acting as if DQ is solely a PS franchise.

Fact is it goes against the whole multiplatform thoery, the's a PC version yes but also two console versions and a handheld version, what's funny is that the original post got things wrong the reason for concetrating on one platform was actually so the whole fanbase would reach it, the whole focusing on one specs thing was a secondary. Just because he said one thing in the past doesn't mean it'll stick as the market changes, DQIX highlighted this as did DQX, if anything I can see 3 console version PS3/PS4/Wii U as the fanbase is split evenly across them.


Are you being serious? Only the Wii U version matters and you know that. The only reason you mentioned the others is so it fits your agenda.

We are talking about Dragon Quest XI, which is CONFIRMED to be a home console game and they even said it won't be on handheld, so in this thread only Wii U and PS3/PS4 matter. So there is absolutely no reason for you to be mentioning the other versions and combining the sales. Also DQX sold 400k in its first week on ALL platforms, not Wii U. This site gets its Japanese numbers from Media Create and just tweaks them by a tiny amount so their Japanese numbers are pretty accurate.

And this game won't be multiplat, Japanese comapnies don't do exclusives, that's how it is, like how 95% of the games on 3DS/Vita are exclusive to that platform. Also Square Enix is pretty much done with Wii U, I still can't believe people are expecting 3rd party games for Wii U. Just look at the Resident Evil Remasters.

Also considering the Wii U only has DQX which did not sell that well on the Wii U compared to the other platforms which means there aren't that many fans as you think there are. Comparing it to the 1 million copies sold of DQH on a platforms which rarely gets Dragon Quest games, yeah PS3/PS4 over Wii U is basically confirmed.

Also if we do get a PS4 version, it's basically confirmed for a western release so stop talking about sales just in Japan. But of course talking about Japan only will help you. PS3/PS4 > Wii U in terms of sales by a large amount.


To be fair thats Capcom, but SE might be even worse the last game i remember was a port of Deus Ex HR that was a while ago, it was a port for a game years old
