Handhelds don't get main entries in those series (with DQ9 as the only exception). That complaint has zero merit.

What is the best selling DQ game?

Thought so.

and? If you really want to drill into profit (as you don't quite get that creators have an impact on how a game is made), then compare revenue made. DQ8's MSRP was 9,500 yen compared to the 6,000yen MSRP of DQ9. Let the semantics go deeper.

Why would you ignore development cost? Also, retailers take a smaller cut from handheld games than they do with HC games.

And Nintendo published DQ IX in the West anyway, so that part of the cost was all on them.

Creative types shouldn't run companies (there are obviously exceptions to this "rule"), hence why nobody wants to see Miyamoto as CEO of Nintendo. Can you imagine Nintendo being led by Hideki Kamiya? They'd be bankrupt in a day.
