| talkingparrot said: At the Gamestop meeting this week in Las Vegas, Square Enix has confirmed that a State side release of Kindom Hearts Chain of Memories Plus will hit the PS2.
Chains of Memories will be a fully 3d version of the GBA version of the game, alongside Kingdom Hearts 2. One more nail in the socket for PS3 Kingdom Hearts 3? |
Releasing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Plus for the PS2 in the west would hurt the sales of the PS3.
PS3 owners have been waiting for Square Enix developed RPGs and Kingdom Hearts is a big game that will have millions of playstation owners purchasing a game to play on the PS2 instead of the PS3. This may even bring in new customers to purchase a ps2 at a time when the PS3 needs as much support as possible. This also may or may not relight the flames of the debate about whether or not Sony should have maintained backwards compatibility in all PS3 models.
No, I do not believe that this move has any relation to Square developing Kingdom Hearts 3 for the PS3. Square needs money because of the lengenthy development of Final Fantasy XIII and all of its planned iterations.
If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
