Just a reminder so haters actually consider possibilities based on evidence.:

Executive producer Yuu Miyake also brought up the more practical, financial side of running a successful MMO. "One thing I can say," he said, "looking across the series from DQ8 onward, is that the business model of creating a retail package and releasing it exclusively on a single platform has become difficult to execute. Gamers' play styles and tastes are getting segmented, and we can't settle on a single platform.


Yeah, but it says MMO, and DQXI won't be a MMO... ("offline home console game") Error in the source? 

That's a comment from 2013, soon after dragon quest X released. what matters is that he openly said that DQ exclusivity wasn't that viable anymore.

Looking at current numbers, if DQ 11 is for home consoles, neither wii u nor ps4 sales are enough to achieve huge numbers with exclusivity. But a multiplat DQ 11 between those two would probably be the best selling in the franchise, japan and globally.
