Because I'm procrastinating for a few minutes..
On the 3DS vs PS matter, people giving 3DS the nod aren't looking at the whole picture. This isn't an independent studio making one game, it's a behemoth company with hands in several places. Simply selling more copies of one game isn't necessarily the most important goal. So what if a 3DS title would sell, say, 5M vs 3M (or less) on ps4? That'd be the main concern for an independent studio, but not for SE. Because SE's other titles aren't coming to the 3DS. FFXV, Nier 2, KH3, FFVIIR, etc, all these games will have PS4 as either the main (in the case of multiplats) or the only platform (N2). What does this mean? It means it's in their interest to increase the PS4 userbase as much as possible so those games can sell more. That'd be the main purpose of sacrificing a portion of direct DQXI sales; to sell PS4s in Japan and in turn sell more future SE games on PS4. Games that actually need every purchase they can due to being more expensive to make than any handheld title.
Don't take it from me, Nomura himself pitched in http://www.vg247.com/2015/06/18/final-fantasy-remake-ffvii-ps4-install-base/
