It takes away potential sales...? Hardware and software are directly linked, that's no secret. There are consumers who will buy the 3ds version of Dragon Quest XI and skip buying a PS4 and PS4 version of Dragon Quest XI. I don't think about sales at face value because it's much more than face value, especially for a series like Dragon Quest which has so much influence on hardware of any company. When Dragon Quest X was announced for Wii exlusive, Nintendo's stock went up and Sony's went down as many were expecting the next console Dragon Quest to be on PS3 as the last console DQ was on PS2. As someone who has studied Dragon Quest as a game series and sales, it's apparent to me the influence it has on other hardware. |
But the PS4 doesn't need for DQXI to be exclusive to reach 6m before MHW comes out. That's what I'm saying. Last year at the same point in time the PS4 sold 1m more until the end of the year. It won't be down from last year by a lot if at all. It had FFXV then but this year it has DQXI. DQXI is still be a major system seller for the PS4 even if the 3DS version exists.
