What about the active userbase of 3DS and PS4 in japan when this actually comes out?

The game would've already been out and making money had it been on handhelds. Now it's another FF XV and KH III lol.

And the difference is so big that 3DS will always win.

But as others have pointed out, they want to make it on home console. Perhaps it will be a PS4 and NX game, it could be years away.

That first sentence isn't really relevant to what Samus is saying, he's saying from a financial & sales perspective a 3DS release makes more sense than a PS4 release. 3DS has the userbase (over 18 million vs less than 2 million), similar games like Pokémon/Monster Hunter/Yokai Watch have all passed 3 million and the 3 Dragon Quest remakes have averaged about 1 million while PS4 has yet to have a 500k seller in Japan.

The game is being aimed for next year, the creator mentioned a while back how he wanted it to release next year because it will be the series 30th anniversary.
