Basically, what it boils down to is this: DQ isn't about graphics and such, the DS is currently the most sustainably popular 'system' in Japan, and the next-gen thing is incredibly up in the air right now as to which will be emerge to the top of the heap. Considering that the game is apparently schedule for release in Summer '07, it's been in the works for a while, and most likely will be some kind of pit-stop on the way to something else. Either that or the cash-cow theory with shorter development times for Japan's #1 franchise.
To add, about the screens released so far... I'm so-so about the game's looks. I really don't like how they rendered the monster in the 2nd shot (is he charging his laser?) -- But yeah, we'll see.
I think the deciding factor for me is
A) How the game moves and flows (no lag, intuitive controls, deep gameplay)
B) How the game sounds on the DS (amazing soundtracks often get turned to grainy mush with synth bass due to the restrictions...)
Edit: Checked out the gameplay video Soldier posted. Actually looks rather nice! Seems they really are doing the whole four-player co-op dealy. Could get a ton of mileage out of it for me and my friends...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
