I think no one will be able to claim that third parties aren't biased against Nintendo if it is on PS4.

Because there's simply no way that a PS4 DQ game will make as much profit on the 3DS. I'm sure people will try to bring "The West" argument into this debate, but they're ignoring the fact that DQ has never been big in the West and MH4U on the 3DS is the fastest selling MH game in the West to date. So it's not like third party games in the West are doomed to fail on the 3DS...

... But you are not considering the fact the SE IS DEDICATED to re establishing the Japan CONSOLE market. They also announced that they would be shifting to PS4 development. Hori himself was more than plesed with DQ heroes that nearly dropped the bomb then and there. What should that tell you about how SE will handle their popular IP release. 

Do NOT set yourself up for disappointment.

Uh? I'm not expecting DQ on the 3DS, I'm just saying that would be the smartest decision.
SQuare-Enix's handheld support is terrible and they're getting trounced by a much smarter company: Level-5.


SE's handheld support is terrible because that is not their focus. Its not dumb or wrong to not want to develop for Nintendo. They have Japan's console market struggle on their shoulders and that is where focus is at.
