Why does the existence of the Switch and 3DS versions have to be bad for the ps4?

Why isn't it the existence of the 3DS and ps4 versions bad for the Switch version?

3DS is on by far the biggest Nintendo fanbase so will eat a lot of sales. Many DQ fans on ps4 thanks to builders and heroes 1/2 will get the ultimate version of DQ11 on ps4 or ps4 pro long before the switch edition is out.

I just don't see the doom and gloom for the ps4. The hardcore DQ fans are on that platform because that's where the new games have been lately.

Fixed.

I don't see the 3DS version doing too well relative to the PS4 version. In fact, given the performance of the DQ Heroes releases on the PS4 (and the holidays-level sales boost the first one gave), it's easy to assume that PS4 ver. will break 1 million first week. The fact that the Switch received a terrible set of ports with rather steep pricing for Dragon Quest Heroes bodes well for the PS4 version as well.

There's also franchise fatigue on the 3DS, let's just say that we'll see it set in at the levels of, say, MH XX or YW3 by the time this releases.

It's easy to forget though, that DQH 1 has so far sold 880K in Japan. For just a spin-off on PS3/PS4, those are epic numbers, and show a large DQ following on PlayStation. Looking at that and 700K for DQH2 and 680K for DQB, DQXI will have no problem selling fantastically on PS4.

I'm talking about PS4.

Japan, by vgcz:

DQH1 = 380k

DQH2 = 300k

DQB = 240k

Yeah, I know that, but where do you think PS3 and PS Vita players are most likely to pick up their copies of DQXI? Most likely PS4. So their sales of the spin-offs are also relevant.

Personally I think it sells great on 3DS and ps4. And it will probably do good on Switch too.  

 

I just don't get why people think this won't sell well on ps4 when it's getting the ultimate editions.

I am not making any official predictions yet, but the price and existence of 3DS and Switch versions are big problems for the DQXI PS4 to beat a practical exclusive like FFXV.

The price is the same as FFXV and other big releases for PS4.

http://www.jp.square-enix.com/ff15/sp/game_products/ps4/

Most games are 7800 and sometimes 8400, 8800, 6800. But its not the point, point is the large difference between 3DS and PS4 version.

Vita versions of same game also sometimes gain a benefit from the price difference, and that is not much less then PS4.

I don't think anyone is saying that PS4 version will flop. Is just 3DS will eat everything

And good start for DQXI PS4

Oh, I'm just putting out reasons that the 3DS version won't really do as well as people think it'll do. I see it doing as well as the DQ VIII remake, so it'll reach 1 million but not in its first week.
