Forums - Gaming Discussion - Where Will Kingdom Hearts 3 Go?

Wii- It's the most profitable console, and Disney will most likely demand it goes there. The only way it goes to the PS3 is if Sony buys exclusivity.

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
Dragon Quest X most likely will come to the wii also. That series isn't going for graphics seeing as IX is going to the ds, and it is even more suited for the wii than kingdom hearts.

sadly wii. 2 much money to be made

PS2 with DQVIII, FFX - XII, and KH 1 and 2 say hello.

 Of course they won't do that on the ps3, unless they are on some type of drug.

What I can't figure out is how people think these so-called casuals look at a game and just "know" that its casual or not. Aside from the fact that Euphoria was soundly rebutted at every turn on the "non-casual games don't sell" line, it sort of ignores the fact that "casuals" don't really read reviews they just buy games based on what they can discern in store.

The irony of this is that for over a year we've had the "Wii is for casuals, Kiddies, and grandmas!" line. Which of course would be the ideal demographic to target for Disney since it is exactly the same people their DVDs target. But now that PS3 fans might lose a game they really want to that demographic that argument is nowhere to be found...interesting huh? The truth is that this is only a part of the Wii's user base.

Lets just sum up this thread really quickly:

Argument for the Wii:

1) On a global basis the Wii accounts for 70.84% of potential KH customers with the PS3 only accounting for 29.16%
2) Much stronger Disney brand recognition among Wii owners
3)  Brand synergy between Nintendo & Disney
4) Lower development costs and time.
5) Point #1 is getting better for the Wii: Current Hardware Sales, for instance in Japan where the Wii has been outselling the PS3 by around 3.5:1 over the past 4 months and in NA where its been outselling it almost 2:1 in the same time period despite shortages.


Argument for the PS3

1) KH sold well on the PS2....last generation.
2) Some PS3 fans don't like the Wii software
3) Wii can't sell "non-casual" titles (which as I said above was brutally rebutted until Euph stopped responding to those making sound arguments against him like myself and Kaz).


Please feel free to let me know if I missed some arguments, because right now this seems fairly one sided.

Dammit, not again :(

 I told them. They didn't listen.



Strange to see a KH3 where to go thread without Leo-J.

 This means what exactly? Larger user base not = higher sales.

 

Only thing I see is Kingdom Hearts large success on the Playstation brand.

You know, SFII sold best on the SNES.  Where did most other SF titles go after that?   Super Castlevania IV sodl quite well on SNES, where did SotN go instead?   Tehre are many example of a series doing well on oen console only to be uplifted and and started on another.  Resident Evil sold great on PS and moved to GC.

You have to look at the type of game, the install base, etc...and from what I've gather (personal opinion here) I don't think the curent PS3 install base is the same support base that sold the KH series on PS2.

 



The rEVOLution is not being televised

Probally on wii since KH is massive in the world and the only console doing well in all those regions is the Wii, 360 horrible still in Japan, poor now in EU, PS3 okay in Japan and better in EU but behind in US barely.
