My point was more that DQMJ did amazing on the DS, and I'm more attacking the notion that RPG sales from SE on the DS have been weak (just because Chocobo Tales and Heroes of Mana bombed doesn't mean that DQIX will).

I think that Dragon Quest IX even on PSP is not out of question. What's out of question is a new DS.

Who's saying it will bomb on the DS? Most people expect it to be the best selling game since forever in Japan.
It sounded more like you were attacking the sales potential of the PSP than defending the DS.

If the new DS turns out to be true, I'm glad I held off on getting a Lite. My fattie has served me well.

He did mention the desire for more multi platform but it was clearly mentioned in regards to home Consoles and it makes sense.
They cant make shit for money if they stick to PS3 only. The Days of Sony Having powerpoint slides saying haha we sold 30 million before they sold 10 are over and SE knows if it wants to make a buck backing sony only is not the way to go

If it came out that way, that's not what I intended. Simply put, I don't think there's any more reason to put DQIX on PSP than any other game, especially when it's the one game that's definitely going to do incredibly.
Apparently this is still be discussed so this post needs to be quoted. I expect ***** and the-MagicBox to post them still though, and some GFAQers to still believe that this'll happen.GhostSeed said:Yes, these are definitely from Gamelabo. Here is a pict from the rumor section from the May 2006 issue I have.
Exact same font and everything.

I know Gamelabo rumours have a very proor track record, but has any of their rumours ever come to fruition?

The rationale provided was that some games underperformed, so they'll take the one that won't and make it multi-console.
Anyway, it doesn't matter - the whole point was that the rationale was silly. Most SE DS games do NOT underperform, so I don't see this rumor being true. If they wanted to make more money by making it multi-console, I could see that making sense. But the idea that they HAD to make DQIX on PSP just seems silly.

Oh, nm on discussing it then. I guess that the whole "old fake rumors" reasoning is better reason to disbelieve these, huh?

A Jump RPG by Squenix sounds great, but I'd never get to play it. Unlike Ultimate Stars (which is awesome) there's no way in hell I would be able to stumble my way through an untranslated RPG. I don't speak no languages

2. Square Enix make a RPG for DS with Shonen JUMP characters. Lots of Gintama please!
3. DQ 9 also available for PSP. What?

Just so you guys know, this is from GameLabo, who is possibly the worst rumourmongers to ever grace the gaming industry.

I was pretty sure it was too good to be true.
Does anybody have an examples of prior rumors Gamelabo put together? Are they even worse than Spo**?

I want new DS.
Srsly.
I has a phat.
Makes me sad.
Want a Lite, but can't justify the $.
I'd buy a newer model if it had:
Lite's screens.
802.11g and WPA2.
Better battery (always want better batter).
Remove the GBA slot and replace it with an SD slot?
Yeah, there are a few uses for the GBA slot, but cmon.
Hell, I'd be happy with a beefed up DS - more memory, faster processors, and higher res screens. Just make sure all the old stuff works on it (options for centering or scaling, etc).
The DS is awesome, but it DOES look like ass (graphics wise) compared to the PSP.
Oh wait - I got it.

No, that's a freaking terrible reason. DQ9 is on DS originally because Horii wants it there. If business is going to override that, it's going to be for a concrete reason like "but it will sell better over here." Since it won't sell better by being on PSP, there's no business reason to do something other than what Horii wants and spend more money on developing it.
I agree. If that were to happen, next thing you know, there will be guys asking for the main FF13 game to be released on the Wii ...charlequin said:
thebishop: I fail to see how some shots of PlayStation(r) 3 games on a Sony branded Playstation(r) 3 has anything to do with the Crisis Core engine that's found on a Sony PlayStation(r) Portable.
