Next-Gen Superiority

RUMOR: Square Enix may consider releasing Dragon Quest 9 exclusively for Wii. A final decision will be made based on the sales of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker for NDS and Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen & the Tower of Mirrors for Wii. In addition, Square Enix is working on a Mana MMORPG for Wii.

If this rumor proves to be true, it could really redefine the current state of the gaming industry.  It's no secret how wildly successful every Dragon Quest game is in Japan.  This is easily something that could catapult Nintendo far ahead of Sony and Microsoft.

I'm kinda worried about this happening.  I'd rather the PS3 come out on top, but that 's because the only 360 games I'm interested in are years away in development and I find the Wii's new control schema more frightening than interesting being such a departure from the norm.  At least the DS games can be controlled with both the buttons and the stylus.

As for a Mana/Seiken Densetsu MMO, I say sign me up now!
