Capcom isnt SE so im not even sure why you compared the two.

1. Nintendo cause they were the most popular. Nuff said.

2. Nintendo, not that it matters that game is a re release

3 I dont think that. We are talking about DQ ELEVEN dont really care about whatever spinoffs  you are comparing. Im simply going off what the actual dev said and what has been true in the past. He said it would be console, that rules out 3ds. main lines appear on the most popular series, no im not counting some re release that comes out years after the original release. Id rather listen to the guy who is actually making the game than some dude on a forum until he says otherwise.

its a better on than MH you since KH is another SE game and MH isnt

The only reason DQX is on many platforms is because its an MMO, it can't survive just being on one platform and there has to be a PC version of a MMO game.

And the first weeks sales of DQX on Wii U was just 33k compared to the total which was 400k so that last comment doesn't even make sense.

If it's on home consoles, it being on the PS4 gives like a 80% higher chance of being released in the west, so fingers crossed.

Explain why DQX is on Wii, Wii U and 3DS, DQX in total has sold around 1.2m only 100k short of the total number of PS4s sold in Japan not rocket science to understand the comment, the numbers are on this very site, if it has sold 400k on Wii U as you say then the numbers on this site are undertracked and the game has more copies sold on then the are PS4s sold in Japan, it's a response to the guy acting as if DQ is solely a PS franchise.

Fact is it goes against the whole multiplatform thoery, the's a PC version yes but also two console versions and a handheld version, what's funny is that the original post got things wrong the reason for concetrating on one platform was actually so the whole fanbase would reach it, the whole focusing on one specs thing was a secondary. Just because he said one thing in the past doesn't mean it'll stick as the market changes, DQIX highlighted this as did DQX, if anything I can see 3 console version PS3/PS4/Wii U as the fanbase is split evenly across them.

Are you being serious? Only the Wii U version matters and you know that. The only reason you mentioned the others is so it fits your agenda.

We are talking about Dragon Quest XI, which is CONFIRMED to be a home console game and they even said it won't be on handheld, so in this thread only Wii U and PS3/PS4 matter. So there is absolutely no reason for you to be mentioning the other versions and combining the sales. Also DQX sold 400k in its first week on ALL platforms, not Wii U. This site gets its Japanese numbers from Media Create and just tweaks them by a tiny amount so their Japanese numbers are pretty accurate.

And this game won't be multiplat, Japanese comapnies don't do exclusives, that's how it is, like how 95% of the games on 3DS/Vita are exclusive to that platform. Also Square Enix is pretty much done with Wii U, I still can't believe people are expecting 3rd party games for Wii U. Just look at the Resident Evil Remasters.

Also considering the Wii U only has DQX which did not sell that well on the Wii U compared to the other platforms which means there aren't that many fans as you think there are. Comparing it to the 1 million copies sold of DQH on a platforms which rarely gets Dragon Quest games, yeah PS3/PS4 over Wii U is basically confirmed.

Also if we do get a PS4 version, it's basically confirmed for a western release so stop talking about sales just in Japan. But of course talking about Japan only will help you. PS3/PS4 > Wii U in terms of sales by a large amount.

How does only one version matter? Oh that's right because you can't argue it so it's an agenda, keep telling yourself that maybe you'll be able to sleep at night especially as the point is the game could become multiplatform with how poorly consoles are performing in Japan, I don't even know if you're serious about about it selling 400k on all platforms in the first week because only the Wii version has crossed 400k and funny enough it still has a large number of active players.

Lol oh dear your excuse for it not being mutliplatform is so naive it reminds me of when people imploded when FF became multiplatform after giving similar arguments, you then go on to use handhelds as an argument after trying to excuse them. 3DS and Vita are doing miles better then any console in Japan that's why their titles are exclusive, it's even funnier when DQ has already gone multiplatform on four different platforms that alone contradicts you as even if we remove PC the are 3 platforms plus an android version and your only response is only the Wii U version counts. RE games are already on WII U the console is backwards compatible with all the rereleased versions on the Wii, X1 and PS4 aren't backwards compatible so have no access to them any other way, if that is your grand argument you best head back to the drawing board as someone earlier was attacking another user for bringing up Capcom in regards to SE.

You know why people talk Japanese sales in regards to DQ? Because it's the key component to the series if you still don't understand this it's you who should stop talking as western sales in the series don't even compare and the platforms they were on weren't short on sales in the west either, DQIX the top seller in the franchise sold 1.2m in the west but 4.5m in Japan for reference, this is why DQVII's remake hasn't made it over, when Nintendo isn't footing the bill for localization SE become reluctant to bring anything over that isn't KH or FF.

To be fair thats Capcom, but SE might be even worse the last game i remember was a port of Deus Ex HR that was a while ago, it was a port for a game years old

Just to clear something up real quick while I'm at work.The multiplatform comment was they don't develop mainline DQ for more than one console at a time. Not that it can eventually be on other consoles. Ports are diffrent, DQ online was made for wii then ported to WiiU 3ds. They focus on one.

the fact you have to explain that is sad.
