Holy shit.
Yes, it's very scalable, but it depends on the "big version" you could scale well to more "limited" devices, so the thing here is ...
IF NX is a handheld (this is a big IF) what S-E wants to sell?
- A downport of the PS4 version?
- Or an enhanced 3DS version?
Respect the announcement, I think it's the best possible for all the users.
Even my optimistic view thinks this is very huge prediction lol. That's just ridiculous for 1st week sales of a spin-off game imo. But I won't be surprised if it happens though.
There's no if, its both just a question of release dates of the individual SKUs.
Right, part of my assumption here is that they're fine selling a downgraded version on the basis of how Dragon Quest VIII 3DS looks.

That's crazy for Animal Crossing
Even Splatoon getting a bigger bump than first expected?
'edit: so it's fake. Almost disappointing
If that's true, Animal Crossing can join Nintendos Top Series in terms of selling Power
...Yeah. They had AC at 675k max. Swine, were did you pull off these new predictions XD
This.
Every downgrade port to NX portable will still look better than most of the stuff you found on other portable systems. Even when using the WiiU Gamepad with Off TV play and it's 480p resolution some console games just look impressive.
If NX portable with a 540-720p and smaller screen than the game pad can get PS4 games like DQXI that would be a big step in unifying the Japanese console industry.
Erm... It joined the club years ago.
I hope this is the case, as it means we have four different looks of Dragon Quest XI! One for each gen!
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Square Enix their biggest client now, since they got that lifelong & company wide license?
I imagine if SE want UE4 to run on NX that Epic will oblige.
Not to mention the fact that DQ Heroes was developed as a PS4 game and ported downwards and now the sequel is going all the way down to Vita!
Well them having Healix chanting 4-player co-op in Japanese twitter account I'm sure DQH2 will be Toukiden like game rather than Musou. With that design you will have far less enemies to display on screen..
Toward this general concept, DICE was trying to get selected parts of Battlefield 4 running on an original iPad Air and was very pleased with the results: http://www.frostbite.com/2014/11/frostbite-tech-demo-battlefield-4-on-ios/
There's a lot of things that go on in a Battlefield game compared to a Dragon Quest title.

Can it really sell that much though?
Didn't COMG go down from 450 to about 390 due to them realizing their is not enough stock?

Sure, Koei Tecmo's engine is already really scalable(see Hyrule Warriors Legends) but it shows that SE are fine with downgrading games.
I considered that it might be a bit of a genre change but in the Jump article they specifically mentioned big crowd of enemies(I think).

Wii want dat money
@Nirolak: reading your posts is very interesting. can I ask you a couple of questions?
1) reading your posts it seems that you are considering the DQ NX announcements as "official", despite the official PR stating that they are "considering NX versions" for both DQX and XI. Do you think that they are just "considering" up to now just because of the "status" of NX? So, let's say: could we consider those games factually announced for the platform? Could this lead us to think that maybe even SE (and Nintendo) still don't know the exact specs, and consequently if the NX hw will or will not be able to run UE4 natively?
2) Don't you think that we should somehow positevely reconsider also the recent April Level5 conference, after this SE one? It seems to me that their approach to YW is not that different from the SE's one to DQ. Yes, they are "skipping" the home console market (in terms of heavy investment) but that's primarly because (contraty to SE) it's not there that their stuff is more skilled at, and it's not there that their IPs strenght lies.

Normally when publisher "consider" bringing games to a plattform they dont announce it during a press conference. The plattform hasnt been officially announced yet so thats probably the reason they backtracked to considering and dodging questions about NX.
With this announcement KH3 hitting NX as well got a lot more likely. This will show us if SE is ready to go all in on NX or if this is just another special DQ case like in the past.

Uh, did I edit my post after the deadline, I do remember paying attention to it so that's weird, but oh well that's what you get for waiting at the last minute.

During the actual conference, it seems Saito explicitly said DQX/XI are coming to NX (Aeana and johntv reported as such, among many other people). It's just later that they tried to backpedal a bit by saying "NX under consideration", probably because, while it's indeed coming, it's possible they talked too soon / they can't say that much since, well, the console hasn't even been announced officially yet.

Horii & co have a habit of announcing things when they feel like it and making SE PR scramble in the process.
Am I the only one that thinks that *both* versions of DQXI could potentially come to NX? Up port the 3DS version to the NX handheld and the PS4 version to the console. Maybe even do a doublepack.

There's still a huge performance gap between PS4 and even the most capable mobile hardware. Being able to run the same middleware engines doesn't erase that.
I mean, Vita could obviously run UE3, yet the Borderlands 2 port ran like shit because it was a game designed for much more capable hardware.

I'm not convinced the 3DS successor will be able to handle games like Kingdom Hearts but Unreal Engine 4 was built to be more scalable from the get go.
Also all of Sony's Third Party Production ports are shit
Oh, I didn't know the game was releasing this year in Japan.
It's more like they announced a main entry after releasing a remake, just before releasing a second remake, and after announcing a spin-off (EMD)... oh and Persona Q too.
They simply wanted to tell people "Yeah, EOV is coming don't worry", a bit like Capcom announced both MH3G and MH4 at the same time.
Actually, there's two bundles:
1) with the Mario amiibo
2) without the Mario amiibo (slightly more expensive)

It was, which was due to MK. However, the bump wasn't as high for a sustained period of time as it has been with Splatoon.
Also, I was referring to the weeks before Splatoon came out in my previous post, where I think it was mainly doing 6-7k (except for 1-2 weeks around Xenoblade, DQX launch).
I meant weekly, not yoy. Splatoon's bump has been sustained amazingly, we're at new baseline territory now. Thanks entirely to a new IP shooter in Japan, that's insane.
