That's why the sales of Final Fantasy Versus will matter.  If it sells well, and square actually cares about making it on the PS3 they can somewhat claim they are "similar" games.

I was thinking. By the time it does come out there will be new handhelds with an established base. The graphics won't be worse becuase they will probably be above the ps2 in power,so could it go to one of those?

I think that SE are trying to buy time by delaying FFXIII because they have a huge budget for the games and what to recoup it. If they don't make as much money on FFXIII that they did on FFX, they will realize that their choice to be a PS3 exclusive perhaps wasn't the best... They already are trying to diversify their actions by releasing games for the DS, PSP and Wii even though they are spin-off or series that don't matter anymore (mana). So, they are buying time to see if FFXIII does well and can justify them keeping their main franchises on PS3. They've already decided to put DQIX on DS which shows that they are not wanting to keep everything on Sony consoles indefinitely. Actually, I don't understand why they are not taking a console agnostic position at this point like Capcom for example.

Where is Soriku?

Bump.

Guys, what the friggin hell are you talking about? This thread is about where KH3 will go, not how many RPG's PS3 can sell.

This is a difficult question, both Wii and PS3 are possible.

Why the Wii? The Wii has huge sales (both hardware and software) where the PS3 ahs alot less sales (the sales would be very good if Japan bought the system) and the Wii userbase is more than likely to like Disney and their characters. Disney also highly favours the Wii.

Why the PS3? Kingdom Hearts has its fans on the PS2. A lot of those owners are now buying a PS3 (not all of them ofcourse).
Nomura also favours playstation. He has managed to get the bigger spin-off on the PSP, while the DS has alot more owners who actually buy games.
The Kigndom Hearts team is currently working on Versus XIII. With this project, they will get to know the PS3 and his hardware. When Versus XIII is released, many RPG fans will buy a PS3 for this game (if they haven't allready done so for Final Fantasy XIII). So the effect of a higher Wii userbase will be (partially?) neutralised.

 Thank's man,it's always good to contribute.

 Well, with Final Fantasy I beleive the fell in love with the CG.  I mean IMO the cutscene movies and marketing hype are what really sold FF7, and since then have become the most imortant part of any Final Fantasy game since. (Main series.)

The stories just haven't been up to par lately (in my opinion).  Instead of making RPG games, it feels like they just have everyone pitch their RPGs, the best one gets some moogles and Final Fantasy lingo thrown in and the rest become their new IPs.

The Gameplay, while good for your run of the mill RPG fan is a lot more dull for the casual RPG fan that boosts up Final Fantasy's numbers.  Hence FF12's attempt at making an MMO like system.  A battle system that Casual RPGers seem to love.

Without the visuals the Final Fantasy main series games just wouldn't have it and unlike Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy is a big enough franchise to get stellar sales on any system.

If it went to Wii, i can't help but feel it would get "outed" as it wouldn't have the best graphics and I don't believe Final Fantasy games can stand on their own anymore without having the best graphics.  Other RPGs would just expose themselves as superior.  It'd still get sales, but it might lose the reviewer crowd, who unlike the casual RPG fan base get to play games like Persona 3 and eventually the main FF brand would fall apart.

Final Fantasy games need to be on a powerful system.  I know the PS2 was the weakest system... but nobody really tried on the GC or Xbox... and the difference wasn't so great. By keeping the main well rated cinematic game on the big systems, they can still dazzle with graphics, then release cheaper spinoffs to make up any lost profit, those games themselves getting higher reviews for being tied into the "Final Fantasy" brand name. 

I think that KH3 would be releases on Wii, because of the hardware base. Disney favorites the Wii and they have a lot to say over the platform where KH3 will be release.
But Square Enix is the developer and this means that they want the biggest profit. It is possible that the Wii and the PS3 get a KH Edition. Maybe the Wii Edition is a spin-off of the main KH3 on the PS3.
I don´t think that SE would be develope 2 big franchise (maybe 3 with Dragon Quest in a few years) on ONE system. The development costs would be explode and there will be only 1-2Millions game copies or less.

P.S. I´m from germany and my english is really bad. I hope you can excuse it xD
