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...

Or perhaps Yuji Horii's vision for DQXI requires a lot more powerful hardware. The 3DS isn't exactly the most powerful platform and I doubt Horii will want to compromise his vision, even if gimping it for the 3DS gives SE more money on the long run (which is debatable).

That's possible, but still doesn't excuse the fact that there isn't a mainline DQ HH game alongside the HC version (like Zelda, Mario, Super Smash Bros., Animal Crossing, etc.). Works just fine for Nintendo, why not Square?
