The game sold 28k in 6 Months on PC and i think that it had a sales some week between those 6 months (nothing too big just 45-50US$ Instead of 60US$) I'm sure Dragon Quest Heros sold well on the west and atleast some Hundred of Thousands units if they made a port for a plataform where they sold 28k of course they can port the game for the NX because the console can sell Multiple times this in the Launch week alone.

Based on what? You are just assuming that whatever costs to port it to NX will magically be made back at a singnificant enough number for hte port to make sense.

PC porting makes sense since its a huge potential market for Japanese publishers looking to expand out of the slowing JPN market (in addition to the increase in the Asian market - surprise that is also a major PC market).

There are lot of logistics that will go into whether a port to NX will make sense. 

LoL the game was a flop of extremely high proportions (on the PC Version), the game only sold 28k in 6 Months, Dragon Quest is one  of the most popular Third Party Franchises of the Japanese Home Console market if not the most, How much money do you guys think that they  spent in the PC Version ? the NX would not be different and the game would sell Hundreds of Thousands on NX and on Japan alone.

And of course port Dragon Quest for the NX is better for their $$$$$ than launching for PC, you seem to overestimate the Potential of the PC Market  of course infinite potential lies within it but the game flopped and does not matter if there are 200-300-400 Millions of Steam's Users less than 30k Purchased it and even if NX only sell 10 Millions much more people would purchase it.
