Let's see...

-DS + Japan = ZOMG
-DS is cheaper than the PS2 at that time
-The DS might introduce new people to DQ. I mean DQ fans can easily buy a DS and people who haven't bought a DQ before will buy DQ IX (I'm one of those people).

FF XIII is going to sell well though. I just think DQ IX will sell better. FF XIII might be the #2 best selling RPG this gen.

The majority of DQ games sales are from Japan.  I don't it will ever reach that kind of popularity in the West because:

1.It is a turn based RPG, which generally don't sell very well unless it is a FF game

2.Most Cel-shaded games don't sell very well in the US( a true and sad fact)

3.RPGs haven't been in the center spotlight since the PS1 era

4.Americans prefer to play RPGs that intoduce something new to the genre
