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 ?

PS4 hasn't done shit in Japan to deserve a Dragon Quest game. That belongs to the market leader, Enix has said this in the past. 3DS is the current market leader, and Switch will be the future market leader. 

And don't get me wrong, I'm happy PS4 owners get to enjoy the game. That said would it kill Square to give Nintendo the same benefit of the doubt? Final Fantasy VII Remake and XV and XVI and Kingdom Hearts III should be on Switch. Fair is fair. 

It's for their own damn benefit anyway, having to "argue" that Japanese developers should support the Switch is like having to argue with a man who thinks shooting himself in the head is a good idea. Nintendo is going to have to save these stubborn developers from themselves. 

We need a strong, healthy traditional game platform in Japan. Nintendo is the only one that can provide it. Time to party like it's 1990 and support that thing like it's Super Famicom.
