Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why Kingdom Hearts 3 will definately be on PS3 and not Wii

FYI by the way. Disney owns part of the DRM on Blu-ray.

Along with Microsoft.

Could easily be a 360 title as well, ever thought of that? Neither did I, "before" Star Ocean IV. How long its been said that SOIV would be a PS3 exclusive and turned out to be completely different. Therefore I'm also with Munkeh on this one. Wait until its announced... "officially".

And more importantly Disney will want KH3 to sell decent numbers all over the world.

 

And it will sell more on the console that has both a large japanese userbase, and a large western userbase. Which one is that? Hint: Look on the home page of this site.

 


Install base 3 times bigger in Japan and still MGS4 will become biggest 3rd party title in just 2 weeks. Wii will never enjoy huge 3rd party support like PS2 did even with way better sales.



alright how about this then.......if you all continue this debate then I will come to each of your houses and piss on your pets or the weakest member of your family.

KH3 can be Xbox360 exclusive if they throw enough money ( way more then they did for SO4). But to say it will be Wii exclusive becasue of bigger install base is wrong.

Because there are many 3rd party games on the Wii of high quality, Marketing budget, bundles etc like MGS4 eh? Right...

 



 

Kingdom Hearts doesn't fit into the same demographic as everything else on PS3 (KH is targeted mostly at kids, everything else on PS3 is made for 15+ year old males), it can't draw that demographic to PS3 by itself, and PS3 is apparently the least profitable console to make games for at the moment.

Considering that Disney will always go for money first, KH is more likely to land on the Wii, DS or even 360 rather than PS3. If Squeenix controlled the KH franchise, it would most certainly stay in Sony consoles - but it doesn't.

Disney can push the Blu-Ray just fine with movies only, and leave its options open with the game franchises.

That is the thing. Square enix and Disney(more important because thye own kh)already said they are supporting the wii. Also I doubt mgs4 will outsell the large wii games in japan in lifetime sales. An example being super smash bros brawl with 2 million sales. The wii demograph also fits kh more. It targets both the older audience, and the younger audience. The ps3 only targets teens and young adults. I could say that a significant amount of kids bought Kh and KH2.

Actually I think square would be smart enough to put it on the wii. They already said they don't want to put too much on one console, and they also said that their main developement platforms were the wii ps3 and ds. They also like money, and probably are smart enough to see that the wii has the largest userbase, and the largest demograph for kh3 to thrive on. I wouldn't be as certain though as I am now, because they still have some loyalty to sony, but that doesn't matter because it's disney's decision.

You could have made that arguement for PS2 no?
