Could easily be on Wii U, PS3, PS4, or Vita and would be an improvement. I also wish that DQ8 wouldn't sell a lot on 3DS, because making an inferior version of an old game shouldn't be a big hit.

That said, it's still far away from DQ7, so you could argue that it has sold appropriately for the state of the game. I just kinda shrug at it.

problem is, this is Japan we are talking about. SE needs to launch it in a successful platform the japanese wants. and that is the 3Ds.  I don't know why SE didn't push a Vita version.  but they only pushed it for 3Ds for the japanese people.

why would you not wish for a game on not to sell well, if you do that, SE would even try to push on the localization for these titles to the west. 

I would wish it not sell well, because worse versions of previously released games are not my idea of a wise investment. DQ7 on 3DS was a great option and I really wish they would localize it. It suited the platform very well. I don't dislike people or anyone who goes out and buys/enjoys DQ8 3DS. It's a good game, just wish they would have gone a different direction for it.

And I absolutely understand the business sense of the decision. I'm not condemning it on its sales or business potential. I know that Square is prepping PS4 and 3DS for DQ11 by releasing more and more DQ content for those platforms.
