It's hard for me to imagine that it wouldn't be released in the US... it's a different landscape for the series than it was when 7 came out at the end of the PS1 era. Nintendo also seems to believe in the series based on their recent publications of 6 and 9. Not sure how 6 is selling, but I would say 9's million-seller status means something.
It was like 50,000 copies on NPD Feb (which means 50,000 in two weeks, given it's date), so it did OK. Not DQ9 numbers, but better than IV and V's...
At the same time though, DQ6 wasn't released in Europe despite having the trademarks and a spanish translation included... weird (and now, Xenoblade seemingly going to Europe and not NA).
I guess it depends on the state of the Wii late next year. With the industry seemingly staying in this console gen for another E3 (barring any surprises), the Wii could still have some life in it if Nintendo gives it a stream of games.
But it's way too early for this talk right now, though I'm sure it'll be a pretty heated topic come the time.
