Why do people think DQIX will sell monumentally better than VIII?

I disagree. I think that almost everyone who owned a PS2 owns a DS.

So, I don't understand why people think this will be way better than DQ8.

 

Because...more people will be introduced to the series? I'm pretty sure there's a good amount of people who own a DS but not a PS2 but could buy DQ IX.

The DS userbase is, how do I say it...more casual. Casual gamers don't go near RPG unless they are called Final Fantasy, Pokemon or Elder Scrolls. There are hardcore gamers with a DS but there are more casual gamers than hardcore games overall. RPGs in general, are for hardcore gamers anyway.
