Nomura has little control. The "higher" SE heads and of course Disney are the ones who decide. Of course, sicne Disney own the IP, I'd say it's likely they have more (but not necessarily a lot more) influence on where the games go than SE. But still...it's not liek SE is against the Wii or anything especially with the DQ X announcement. |
but normura has not developed a big game on anything but playstation. his team did kh1, kh2, and is doing ffvs13. he played a decent to major role in ff7, ff8, and ff10. the four non playstation kh games were made by different teams and cant be seem as even close to the same level as his other big games.
he is also a proven sony fanboy. ffvs13 is probably still a ps3 exclusive because of him and kitase alone (even if thats temporary, the fact is that they have so far kept it exclusive).
*rumor* he is supposedly on shaky grounds with se (him not being happy with them). If he left to form a new studio he would probably take a lot of his team with him, cause mass doubt (especially in these tough economic times) and there would probably be a huge shakeup at se.
disney has stated that they want nomura (not just se) in charge of kh. they essentially would take a hands off approach as long as the series continues to do so well.
