So I see the argument of where DQXI goes continues :/ Though thankfully the list of what has released on Nintendo systems when it come to FF have been posted, so that should help me carry a point, that may result to be quite interesting.

Square Enix has usually used Nintendo platforms for Final Fantasy spin-offs, meanwhile they release main Final Fantasy games on PS consoles, now lets look at Dragon Quest. Dragon Quest has seen all of its main entries on NIntendo, well except VII and VIII, though by August both should have returned to Nintendo hardware with the release of the DQVIII remake, meanwhile Sony in recent times have only gotten spin-offs, quite a similar situation of what occurs with Final Fantasy, only the opposite, Nintendo gets main entries with some random spin-off, while Sony only gets spin-offs.

If that is the case, then we can expect for Dragon Quest XI to release on Wii U, if we follow what has occured in the past. Though even if that weren't the case and we only looked at the what seems to be the usual reason for where a main DQ game goes, the answer is still Wii U, since at the moment, it is the leading home console in Japan, and with how things are looking, PS4 may not go ahead of it till somewhere in mid or late 2016. So no matter how you look at it, the only logical conclusion it fits all the past criteria, with it being the best selling home console in Japan. Also, if my memory servers correct, in a interview Horii said that they were keeping the controls of the game in mind, if they were releasing on PS4, there would be no reason for that, since they know with what htey are working, how it functions, and that everyone is accostumbrated to it, but when you bring in a special controller like the Gamepad into play, it makes sense to them to keep in mind, because of all the things they could do with it in DQXI. So at the moment the only logical conclusion with all the present evidence is that Wii U will be the console in which DQXI releases.


When it comes to this game... it is sad to see Dragon Quest mixed with a thing like Minecraft.

Pretty sure they are priming the PS4 audience for DQXI with DQ Heroes and DQ Mincraft. 

The N64 or GameCube did not get any Dragon Quest spin-offs, you only get DQ spin-offs if you're getting the real deal. And Horii has already said DQXI is for a console, so 3DS is out. 

I think Square-Enix has chosen to throw all their support behind the PS4 in a last ditch attempt to try and rescue the Japanese console industry. They see it as their best bet. 

If that were the case, then all of those Final Fantasy spin-offs on Nintendo consoles would be priming the Nintendo audience for a main Final Fantasy titles :v

Not always mah boy, PS3 began to get spin-offs, but there is no way that a main game will release on it, and in their time the Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance received spin-offs, but never received a main game, so receivin spin-off means nothing.   Why do you think I didn't mentioned in the post I originally made?  Because I know that, so at the moment if we are to go by the analogy of "Dragon Quest goes to the best-selling console in Japan"  the only conclusion you can reach is that it will come out on Wii U.

Or atleast some developers have, we do not know if Horii shares that same mindset, though if he did, he would had assured a PS4 version of DQX.
