Yes Carl, but you made your point from the context that it will be ported because of the similarities from the Move and Wii remote....so your logic is flawed here.

Will Move sell more units than the best selling PS3 games, which costs cheaper? At the moment, Modern Warfare 2 is th ebest selling game on the PS3. Lets us assume in its first year Move is an astronomical success and sells as well as MW2 has, so a little over 7 million units.


By the end of the year the Wii should be over 80 million....easy. So, now you're talking about selling to an 80 million install base vs the Move's hypothetical 7million?

Look I know we have no idea how it will do, but the idea to give you a sense of realism.

Don't put the PS3 on a pedestal here.

I love my PS3 a lot, but realistically the game will stay on the Wii.

And your logic about development costs is flawed too, because DQ will clearly have more $ put into it than Grinder & LotR...its arguably SE's biggest game franchise, certainly in Japan.


SE always wants DQ to hit the largest possible market, and outside of the DS, the Wii is that market in Japan. PS3 has the core user base. Everyone that bought a PS3 so far in Japan for FF13, owns the system.


Carl, you have to realize that the biggest game for the PS3 in Japan was FF13, and even that failed to meet the expectations SE had when they started to develop the games way back in 2005-06 (everyone thought the PS3 was gonna be market leader this gen...). The PS3 rules, and is an awesome console, but the last big gun Sony really has in Japan is GT5. Nintendo still has DQX to release, and we don't know how well new IP's Xenoblade and Last Story will do.

DQX will stay on Wii. Its as simple as that.

(psst. same with the Wii.  SE efforts are all on the PSP, and much more on the DS)

Does that mean the PS3 can't sell 3rd party software, especially Square-Enix stuff?

Nah, just giving examples of some recent Wii projects that have now gone multi. And the Wii version could also be a top-down shooter too.

yes with 5 mil ps3s in japan it has a lot of chances

This made me laugh

Don't you ignore me Carl

Dragon Quest has always controlled like an NES game, it will never control like anything else. The primary supposition of this topic is fallacious.

I don't think it was ever meant to be used with motion controllers from the beginning, so move won't change anything.

But Sony moneyhatting won't exactly be a new story, so it's very unlikely but plausible.

It happened to Final Fantasy. So DQ is not out of the question. and you are uber blind if you don't see that.

No.

It could easily happen. If Nintendo has not done an exclusivity deal.
