Sony bias up the ying yang here I see. 

3DS version will outsell the PS4 and likely will finish development earlier too. 

What?

I didn't literally mean that more people would buy the PS4 version, just that the more people buy the PS4 version instead of the 3DS version, the better for SE.

Financially it's better for SE if the PS4 version sells 1.5 million and the 3DS version sells 2.5 million, than if the 3DS version sells 3 million and the PS4 version sells 1 million, despite both scenarios having a total of 4 million copies sold.

Not bias, it's pretty basic logic.

It's hilariously biased logic. You do realize the PS4 version probably costs like 10x more develop than the 3DS version?

Also there's no rule written in stone that 6000 yen is the maximum SE can charge for DQXI on 3DS. They can charge what ever they want. 

It's even better if SE sells 3-4 million on the 3DS, then another 1.5-2 million on PS4/NX and they can achieve that most likely if they let Japan gorge itself on the 3DS release first, then go with round 2 on the PS4/NX versions. This is how SE operates these days anyway ... multiple FF sequels, FF7 being split into different parts ... they do this because they make more money.
