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.

The point is, it's still a userbase. It could grow, it might not... But it could. Wont be Wii-levels but it could still be a glaring success. As for the 80 vs 7 thing, it wouldn't be a "vs". They would be looked at as a combined userbase.

Development costs i don't think are that flawed at all. If a small dev team can do it... A huge one like SE can certainly do it. It's like GoW: Collection. The 2 games took what, 15 weeks to port into HD?

I would love to answer to the rest... But i need to go help my mum she's not well. Will answer later if i get back online tonight. Sorry!

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'm not, sorry. I need to go help my mum so if the threads still alive when i get back i will talk. Cya!

Oh yeah? Well Dragon Quest Swords has outsold all SE projects on PS3 baring FFXIII.

We all know that's false...

I know, i know... It is as of this very moment a Wii Exclusive. But without a contract with Ninty FOR exclusivity, i think this could end up being a PS3/Wii multi.

Reasons being...

  1. Wii Remote and PS Wand are very, very similar in the things they can do.
  2. A huge JRPG audience are already on PS3, including the Final Fantasy fanbase.
  3. Square-Enix let Final Fantasy XIII be on Xbox, because Microsoft asked... And because of the extra large userbase, ofcourse. Looking at this, couldn't Sony also "ask" SE for DQX on PS3? It would be a no brainer as far as i'm concerned. 100M+ Total Userbase is hard to turn down.
  4. Square-Enix are already developing for the PS Move, they will have experience in both motion devices by DQX release.

So... Did i miss any possible reasons? Am i being foolish? Post!

Where did you see this?

Might as well make it Multiplat with Wii, PS3 and 360. That would cover everyone.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

....now in fairness I don't think that's quite what the man meant

Not going to happen for a few reasons, first DQ was never really going to use much motion control, second Wii development began in 2008 and is vastly cheaper, thirdly Square Enix don't own the patent to DQ Yuji Hori is the sole owner SE only have an exclusive contract with Hori to publish his product they don't decide the direction and platform he does, don't believe me look it up, if Sony is to ask it has to be him. Thirdly Final Fantasy could of been released on a mobile phone it still would of sold like how DQIX is SE's highest sellest jrpg in Japan, the DQ fanbase aren't the same as the FF fanbase either finally Move is showing signs or lag problems a real game breaker for MC games not that DQ was going to use much motion anyway, the notion that Move can influence such a decision is quite frankly amusing.

No, it wasn't. I was just throwing the OP's words back at him.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

I agree, yes very possible

Hmmm, DQ multiplat or FF7: Remake.

I do not believe in miracles so this cannot happen.

Tho, we are probably more likely to see FF7: Remake than DQ multiplat.
