Not seeing how the PS4 version has been more successful than the 3DS version given that the 3DS version has outsold it every week since launch.

Week 1

[3DS] Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (Square Enix, 07/29/17) – 1,148,888 (New)
[PS4] Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (Square Enix, 07/29/17) – 950,315 (New)

Week 2
[3DS] Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (Square Enix, 07/29/17) – 300,714 (1,456,601)
[PS4] Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (Square Enix, 07/29/17) – 200,798 ((1,151,113)

[3DS] Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (Square Enix, 07/29/17) – 116,615 (1,573,216)
[PS4] Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (Square Enix, 07/29/17) – 91,147 (1,242,260)

The 3DS version has sold over 300,000 more units than the PS4 version to date. The interview was given almost 2 weeks ago, but there was no point sales for the PS4 were ever stronger than for the 3ds version. Even if digital sales were higher for the PS4 version, they would have had to have been almost 150,000 than the 3DS digital sales in week 1 just to pull even, let alone ahead.

So SE is already saying it's more successful and you still doubt it? lol
As I have said it before on the other thread. 3DS underperform. SE expected it to sell more not to get toe to toe with the PS4 version because of the install base. 
As you have said SE also expect it to perform better in the long run but that is yet to be seen. As of the moment PS4 version is stronger than 3DS version.

It isn't 'as of this moment' since the statement was made August 4, 12 days ago.  Even then the PS4 digial sales would have to be massive and the 3DS digital sales practically nonexistant for that to work out.
