Uh, a port to Switch is something that's feasable if it takes off. Not just dropping support for a platform with 50 million units out there with games that still have international appeal outside of Japan. To solely commit to a system that's following up the biggest failure Nintendo's had in the home console market to date. This is a Nintendo thread alright. 

Why not? Sony gets the benefit of the doubt every time, FFXV, KHIII, DQXI were all announced for it before it really sold big, it doesn't really even deserve a Dragon Quest game based on its sales in Japan. And that's fine, but would it kill Japanese developers to even give Ninendo the benefit of the doubt *one fucking time*? Even when it's their own future that depends on it?

Nintendo shouldn't be the one jumping through hoops here trying to impress Japanese developers like a dog when they've had the two best selling platforms in Japan for the last decade easily. 

Nintendo should finally be given some benefit of the doubt, they are the only one in Japan that has any chance of selling 20 million units. If Switch is reasonably powered, it's time for Square to swallow their pride and admit they need Nintendo to build them a healthy traditional gaming base in Japan or the future of many of their key IP is in serious trouble. 

 

If you take away the Handhelds. The Wii only had 1.5-2 millions of advantage over the PS3, the PS4 has 1.5-2 millions of advantage over the Wii U.

Why would a console that sold almost 4 millions in 2-2.5 years not deserve a Dragon Quest game when it is  better than Nintendo did with the Gamecube and the 64 ?
