In my opinion KHIII is either going to be there on PS3 or not at all. I don't know why Wii fans keep saying its destined to be on their system because most of the fans of the first two games haven't purchased a Wii and the PS3 is doing fine and will continue to increase the size of its install base.

Square-Enix only cares about the "existing fanbase" insofar as they can continue to provide S-E with more money than the alternative. If Square-Enix ever gets even the slightest hint that they could make more money on a franchise by switching consoles, they will do so. They've done so multiple times in the past, and will do so again if they find it feasible. Despite what you may have heard about Japanese business culture, Square-Enix has no misguided loyalties. They follow the money as best they know how, and they know it very well indeed.

And frankly, the writing is on the wall for Kingdom Hearts. It's obvious to pretty much everyone that Square-Enix would make more money on that franchise if it appeared on the Wii. The "existing fanbase" would be a drop in the Blue Ocean, especially seeing as many of them have jumped ship to other consoles already: S-E wouldn't even have to sacrifice much of the existing fanbase at all. They know this, and so does Disney. Sony frankly cannot afford to moneyhat the game enough to counter this.
