I doubt the 3DS version will come out west tbh.
Neither have the potential of the PS4. Overseas presence is the very reason the PS4 SKU exists.
Realistically, how many copies do you think DQXI PS4 can sell in the west. We have DQVIII and IX selling about ~1m. Can PS4 version go much beyond that?Neither have the potential of the PS4. Overseas presence is the very reason the PS4 SKU exists.
Japan never had Thanksgiving or Turkey, but KFC had the bright idea in the 90's to offer thanksgiving sales in Japan for chicken buckets and now its a tradition in Japan that on Thanksgiving people will buy KFC buckets as a way to celebrate Thanksgiving

The PS4 version exists also because Horii wanted it on the big screen, and also as part of an initiative to revive the home console market in Japan.
I'm personally hoping for success similar to Persona 5. Out of nowhere hit topping the NPD.
Persona 5 did better than anyone expected but the signs were there of a big build up over the years. Theres been no similar signs for DQ.

Oops my bad just double checked. Christmas tradition is the correct holiday
Edit: and its a tradition since the 1970's
Is there any country other than the US that celebrates Thanksgiving? That's like thinking the US celebrates Bastille Day.
One thing that really must have helped Persona was not bowing out of the market for 12 years.Persona 5 did better than anyone expected but the signs were there of a big build up over the years. Theres been no similar signs for DQ.
So long as they don't pull an Azure Revolution and shit out a demo that isn't ready yet in the name of pushing copies that'll poison the well.
I can only imagine what Azure Revolution could have been in a world where it didn't get its budget pulled because of reactions to a demo that needed more time in the oven but got shat out anyway to push VC Remastered sales.

Actually if DQ XI sells 1 million on PS4 would already be enough to prove many people wrong.

They really need to announce the localization at e3, hopefully with a release this year. They've shown with FFXV and Nier Automata that they can do worldwide releases if they want to.
We're not, but the problem is that it should have been announced for localization the same day it was announced.Why are we pretending this won't get localized?
You got a date? Because I most definitely will have 60-70 hour work weeks when I actually expect this game to come out, as opposed to it's Japanese release date. Along with the 7 and 8 remaster plans, why would any Western fan be optimistic?Why are we pretending this won't get localized?

I don't understand that way of thinking.Neither have the potential of the PS4. Overseas presence is the very reason the PS4 SKU exists.
In general a localization announcement at E3 is the best shot this game can get tbh.

I think it will do better than that in Japan alone. Worldwide it depends, the PS4 audience seems pretty receptive to high production value rpgs so it might do quite decently as well.

This is what happened when a Dinosaur still hold a portion of power in your company....
Market it in the west dumbasses. Release it worldwide simultaneously.....
Edit:
Holy shit some of nintendo fans really salty that main DQ games got a full PS4 version....
What so hard to understand that PS4 version gives them a chance for worldwide appeal? Nuts gamer community.
I won't be surprised if DQXI sells best on PS4 in Japan.
I mean, yeah.
Having to make two different versions of a game is never a sign of confidence.
Dragon Quest XI could do Ni No Kuni level sales or better in the west if SE actually makes an effort. Putting it on the PS4 is a step in the right direction, but they also need to make sure it's the only major Japanese PS4 game in its release month.
Also, it needs an epic trailer at Sony's E3 or at PSX, and not just the same boring trailers they always do with the main theme playing in the background. No one cares about the main theme in the west...DQ doesn't have a heritage here. I feel like every DQ trailer tries to play up the heritage of the series but no one gives a shit about that here. Play some cool cutscene, show the party fighting a huge boss, show some crazy magic attack, show mc riding the mounts. We want to see action!
Well let's see... preorders shows PS4 version stronger.That's very unlikely to happen.
