You know, to just mix things up once and a while you could occasionally not post the worst case possible scenario for everything related to Switch.
The longer we go on, not knowing about the Switch version, the more this seems likely.
9 days before release:
- DBFZ = 36 points
FW sales = ?
- DBXV2 = 34 points
FW sales = 66,035
-DBXV = 29 points (PS3) *Two days later, the game had 56 points, 23 for PS4 and 33 for PS3*
FW sales = 78,911
You can say the same thing about the Western release.
The game is reliably rumoured to appear in next month ND so we'll know pretty soon.
SE and Sony did not go through the release of 4 DQ games and develop a PS4 specific DQ11 just to not have it available for the 65+ million PS4 base outside Japan.
Worst case scenario is it not existing/being cancelled.
Similar to how Nintendo having to publish the $60 port of TWEWY is better than that not existing too.

Nintendo's involvement is Switch version won't be a late release at west.
What's your point? SE will never make a Japan exclusive PS4 game.
Oh, DQXI PS4 will indeed come to the west, but I doubt it was a major factor for the project.
Yeah, this is what I think is happening. We would've seen the English version already if it was Ps4 first or SE didn't care to release the switch version at the same time.
Not sure if it'll be WW release once the Switch version is done in Japan, but likely a western release on PS4 and switch at the same time
The longer we go on without news about a localization, the more it seems it'll be announced in a somewhat big way in a direct. News was expected in the fall, and I can't imagine a PS4 localization delaying it. Something happened.
And let's not forget DQ Builders is being pushed by Nintendo specifically in the west. Too much smoke.
You mean like Itadaki Street and Dragon Quest X?
If that was happening we'd already know about it by now.
DQXI will release simultaneously for PS4 and Switch in the west. Maybe even 3DS if Nintendo wants to foot the bill for that one.
My thought was when they didn't mention any platforms, that was cause were planning the Switch version to be a worldwide release simultaneous with a PS4 version in the West, with the possibility of the 3DS version not coming here at all. My only issue is we haven't seen a lick of footage of DQXI Switch. Then again, we haven't seen a lick of footage of a western version of DQXI either
still think that has to do with that Ambition of Slimes game. of course, that wouldnt make sense as that's already revealed
it could still happen, as SE is really tight lipped about the Switch version. the only reason we know what we do is because the leads on the Armor Project side gives no fucks
Yeah if it was only coming to PS4 in the west at first I see little reason for why we haven't got any news yet. Still expecting Switch and PS4 at the same time in the west.
Was the clock reset when I wasn't looking? I didn't know we were expecting a Direct next month and Dragon Quest XI in it.
Can't believe they're adding a late KH3 Switch port!
Joke aside I think they even said we'd get more news by the end of November or something? Weird to miss that deadline by over a month and a half.
There's an era user called Chrom that has got two big leaks right last few weeks:
1) No Fire Emblem in 11th direct
2) 18th announcement would not be a direct but just a trailer reveal (think it was worded something like that)
He now says that we'll have a direct in February featuring Fire Emblem, "a green dinosaur and a green slime" or such.
I know, but they wouldn't have done it, even if accidentally, if they were aware of such a deal. Either way speculating about it won't help. It definitely is weird tho that we haven't heard anything.
Was Sony involved? Besides PhyreEngine being used for Builders I don't think there was any involvement, it was an effort fully by Square Enix.

Then the green dinosaure game should be Monster Hunter :p
I mean why not go with the most obvious choice ? I am not even sure that Chrom knows about this game.
Finally caught up, and I see I didn't miss much in the end :p
The new topic will stay a lot more interesting than MonHun repeats for the next few days hopefully.
Not in France!
Sony wasn't involved in DQ11 nor in any marketing deal for the spin-offs in the west no. It's not like Nintendo and DQ.

Revealed? It released a week ago in America and Europe, and a month ago in Japan. There's zero chance this title would be at a Feb Direct.
It's obvious what game Chrom meant.
They're even tighter lipped about the western release. As in no one's talking about it at all and it's missed promised information milestones.
That video was taken down. The only localization video that exists currently is on the Dragon Quest channel.
No, it was on SE's channel. No platforms announced, more information promised by the end of 2017. It never came.
The PS channel briefly rehosted the video and then quickly took it down.
The difference is that Builders is a spinoff.
I can't see S-E releasing XI Switch in Japan after a western release (unless it's like 2-3 days).

When Switch version is ready for western release there is no way it won't be ready for Japanese too. Japan goes first is what likely happens.

Dragon Quest Builders appeared on Comgnet at 10pts more than 5 weeks before release. That game might surprise those who said that it would be lucky to reach 100k LTD.
Bayonetta Climax Edition is 2 pts up at 14pts. Another Switch game that is going to outsell the WiiU version.
Kirby is the other Switch game charting and is climbing slowly, it is at 13pts now.

Will probably end around 1640. I guess it's first week could be 1.2 million? I still think it will reach a potential 2.5 million till the end of the year
I think DQB is going to be a surprise hit on the Switch. It's never been on a successful handheld until now, and it's not competing with Minecraft at retail just yet. I can see it selling a significant chunk of the PS4 version's lifetime sales, maybe even more.
Plus the game is priced nicely(~4k) with a lovely demo. That makes it an attractive buy.
It's worth noting he was the first to even suggest something was happening at all on the 18th.
And I believe his teases for the February Direct were "green dinosaur" and "an RPG with slimes." Which, technically, could even be Dark Souls!
But DQXI seems like the obvious candidate.
Dino Crisis and Ghostbusters RPG coming maybe.
It would also explain why DQXI localization had 0 news this fall despite them planning to do that, and for the fact that we still don't know when they'll talk about it. They're probably tied to a Direct that didn't happen last fall.
That edit is fire lol. It's almost wild we can stir so much shit over nothing :P
