Growing DQ in the West is a smart strategy, because it has become a better franchise than Final Fantasy IMO.  Although I'm going to wait for the Switch version.  Right now I'm looking to get every multiplat game on Switch.  It's just a better format all around. 

How is the Switch 'just a better format all around' for a game like this?
Say I have no interest in playing games on the go. What are these all around features that makes Switch just better for me?

Well it is definitely the best format for me.  At this point I am collecting way to many consoles, and I would prefer fewer consoles with large libraries than having a ton of consoles hooked up to a TV set.  Not only is Switch portable, but carts are smaller and more durable than disks.  I plenty of retro games, so the graphical difference between Switch and PS4 doesn't matter to me at all.  Instead I just want a large library of games that are reliable and easy to store in as small a space as possible.  For all the things I want, Switch is clearly better.
