At a press conference in Japan, Square Enix has made the unexpected announcement that the next numbered release in the Dragon Quest role-playing game series will appear on the Nintendo DS and not a Sony format.
With the series having the same importance as a triple AAA Western franchise such as Grand Theft Auto or Halo in Japan, much speculation had already arisen over which format would receive the next numbered iteration in the series, with the PlayStation 3 and Wii seen as the front runners. The release of the next game on the Nintendo DS would presumably leave the home formats with only spin-offs, such as the already announced Dragon Quest Swords for the Wii.
