Weekly, the Wii sells more SW in NA than the PS3 and 360 combined.

When you take Nintendo-published games out of the software sales, how much does it still beat it by?

 

THIS x infinity.

Unless he thinks KH3 is going to sell because something Game Party sold a million

Ah, great. Here again, with the removal of first party games. Why exactly would we do that?

I have a test for you all - instead, why don't we remove the sales of western games? Suddenly, the HD consoles fall flat on their faces, while the Wii completely dominates. Also, if we are to believe "Wii owners don't buy core games" myth, then it's also true that "HD users don't buy cartoony/Japanese" games. At least that one is closer to the truth - KH has much more in common with Mario and Zelda than CoD or GTA.

The game has no chance being a PS3 or 360 exclusive. 360 exclusivity kills a whole lot of sales in Japan (at least 500k gone). This series is far bigger than SO in all regions, so losing the PS3 install base would cost more.

PS3 exclusivity would be foolish because of the American install base. Overall it would end up selling only slightly more than on the 360, while being harder to develop for, AND there'd be no chance for a moneyhat from Sony (a 360 bonus).

It can only be either a Wii exclusive or PS360 multiplatform. Those are the only logical choices, anyway. With the Wii doing as bad as it is in Japan now, who knows, maybe Nintendo will push for it. (... Yeah, maybe that's pushing it!)
