There is demand though, honestly. In Japan FF15 had great sales but then quickly dropped off. It's not because FF15, it's because of the console. The amount of people who would double dip alone would probably give them back the budget, but consider that games like Splatoon 2 are growing as IP's mostly due to the new handheld audience. 

Eh, I don't think that had much to do with it. It has far more to do with the type of game it is, rather than the platform. It's more Western focused in target, and the sales reflect that. The fact that the series isn't as popular any more (much like Monster Hunter) is also noteworthy.

You're partially right and wrong. While FF has been beaten by games like DQ, and other series like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Splatoon and Monster Hunter are more consistent in sales... FF is still a tier 1 game in JP. JP might be more jaded to it now, but thats yet another reason why it should be on a handheld.

 

MH has not fallen in popularity. They just milked X too hard. (The PSP games are way overtracked, the 3DS games outsold them)
