Which Sony home consoles are notably more popular than the 3ds in the west? The PS4 that has just launched and therefore has a much smaller install base or the PS3 which would make for a really late gen DQXI?
Well no shit, they bought a console game and just expect the PC version to come along for the ride?
Err, both?
I don't know where this myth comes from that the 3ds is some monster platform. It kicks ass in Japan, but it's nothing spectacular outside.

As of September 30, 3DS was at 35 million ww.
Why would they care how it does outside? DQ is for Japan, so it will be made for the platform doing well there.Err, both?

And the ps3 is at 80 million...
Man that tweet. I really don't wanna believe it's real. If it is, why would Nintendo opt for an "unproven" new IP? Sure, DQ ain't CoD, but it still has its fans in the West. I really, really hope DQVII will be announced after BD's release. I can't imagine having to choose between these two games.
You said both though. If you are trying to say month to month sales determine pop, 3DS has been beating ps3 worldwide. If you are trying to use lifetime sales, 3DS has PS4 beat there. If you're trying to use both, your argument is agenda driven, and you don't really care about facts so much as winning an argument even if it's on faulty premises.
PS4 has a monthly sales total of 0 in Japan.So either way you slice it, one of those consoles is more popular worldwide. If you want to go LTD, ps3 wins easily. Month to month sales, ps4 beats it out, and that probably won't change.
Most popular platform in Japan is mobile, not 3ds.
DQ is a Japanese focused franchise. Japan, for the most part, has moved to handhelds. That's why people are predicting for 3DS.

As long as I get it in English I'll take it on the Dreamcast VMU for all I care.
Not to comment where DQ goes (probably 3DS) but instead of hardware sales people should use software sales more when comparing health of the platforms. PS3 is absolutely crushing 3DS when it comes to software shipments. During next holiday PS4 is also probably already outshipping 3DS worldwide when it comes to software. 3DS software shipments have been even more disappointing than its hw sales (behind PSP, GBA, DS launch aligned).
And now let's look at the thing that matters the most: Japan. And there is no argument at all to be made that 3DS gives the game the best potential in Japan.3DS software sales crush the PS3 currently and will crush the PS4 as well. People really think they're going to go chase some non existent western JRPG audience at the expense of their Japanese audience?
