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   Why do you think I didn't mentioned in the post I originally made?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.


Square's only released as far as I can tell two Final Fantasy games for Nintendo home consoles in the past 20 years or so ... GameCube got Crystal Chronicles and Wii got Crystal Bearers. Not exactly a big deal. 

If Wii U was getting DQXI it should be getting DQ Heroes and DQ Builders, that's just how the Enix side works, if you're getting DQ spin-offs it's because you're getting the main one later on.
