Lol, I remember ten years ago there was a bet on these forums about whether or not KH3 would come to PS3 or Wii.

Until Nintendo finally decides to make a console that is as powerful as their competitors and with a similar architecture (internals, storage media etc.), this is going to happen. It's been going on since N64. |
Yup, that's why streaming would be a possible option in the future no more limited by hardware or storage.
I am surprised there are people here that are genuinely upset about no Switch port. Both FF15 and KH3 got the, "Kick in the ass treatment" by SE. They were both announced waaaay before Switch or PS4/XBO for that matter, were a thing. Then they were re-announced for PS4/XBO with the goal of grinding them out as fast as possibly. Even if SE wanted a a Switch port, they dont have luxury of delaying this game any further for it. Get this game out. How much resources do you guys think XV and KH3 were hogging up? With the release of KH3 it will be the end of a decade long age.
Not the 2018 release I was hoping for but I'll take it! The game has been in development for what feels like forever so at least things are finally looking up
If Square Enix had to focus on developing KH III for the Switch as well I'm sure the company would have just imploded and no one would've ever gotten the game. Hopefully it's good.

It just doesn't make sense. Imagine a console released by Nintendo which was exactly like a PS4 Pro. Same online, same internals, same basic media... basic controller. Now imagine Nintendo releasing BOTW, Metroid Prime 4, Odyssey... and then throw in COD, Madden, GTA 6, Battlefield... all those really massive casual franchises. Who the hell would be able to compete? Sony? They have great exclusives, sure. But if Nintendo is getting the same third party support and their versions are just as good, Nintendo is going to win that fight because in the end, their exclusives sell better and are in more demand. GOW is great. Bloodborne is great. But they don't sell anything like MK or Pokemon. There's literally no evidence of Nintendo ever losing under this strategy and, if they ever tried again, trust me, Microsoft and Sony would shit the bed secretly because they have used Nintendo's gimped hardware and different controller strategy to their advance for years. They have lived off the fact that by default, Nintendo won't be getting the best third party games. If Nintendo threw down the gauntlet and said, ok... no more freebies for you guys, imo, it could be game over for their dominance. |
GC was more powerful than ps2 and sold poorly and if I'm not mistaken the N64 was more powerful than PS1......
Jan. 29 is such an awkward release date for such a big game. You'd think they'd either do extra crunch time to get it out by December or else wait til March and polish up a lot more. Jan. 29 release date gives me a bad vibe. It shows they don't have a lot of confidence in their game.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

Both Resident Evil 7 and Monster Hunter World came out late January and ended up doing well, there is no reason why KH3 can't.

January has been a key month for a few years now, especially for Japanese developers. Nier, Yakuza, Monster Hunter World, RE7, Dragon Ball Fighther Z and Ni-oH just to name a few off thr top of my head, all released to major success during January.
KH is more popular than all those titles.
