@ starcraft: Perhaps you're right. My reasoning is that the game is well suited to the Wii, and they probably started work on the PS3 version back when it was assumed it would have the same marketshare the PS2 did. Maybe that's not true anymore, being we still haven't heard a word about it

I can understand that, but I dont agree.

The Kingdom Hearts team (or most of it) is wrapped up in the development of Final Fantasy Versus XIII.  Whilst I hope this doesn't mean that Kingdom Hearts 3 is not underway, I do believe it prevents enough development from having occured early on so as to commit the game to any one platform.

Honestly, without substantial moneyhatting from SOMEONE, there are only two viable options for Square Enix.  One is Wii exclusive, the other is multiplatform HD.  I believe multiplatform HD would sell FAR more.

It's very possible that Kingdom Hearts and Versus are running on the same engine.  Versus is also supposedly going to be reminiscent of KH in terms of play style.  Much of the development time for KH3 could be cut out if it's running the same engine as Versus.  Also remember that if Disney has any say in the matter,  I would almost guarantee their alliance with Sony.  (For Blu-Ray purposes) or Wii for target audience size/etc.

I think Square Enix has many options.  With the series of games they have coming out,  they can give exclusivity or multi-platform as they please.  Especially to either the Wii or PS3,  whose Japan userbases alone trump anything the 360 has.

 

Remember there still is supposedly that 'True Blue System Seller'  of a game that is in development for the PS3 supposedly. All console Kingdom Hearts have been PS exclusive thus far.  Sony might have been able to snag it.

 

 

**EDIT**   And actually KH3 to PS3 might be picking up more steam when you put together the sequencing.  Last week, The Kingdom Hearts Team said they were going to make a big annoucement about the series next week (Which is this current week).   Sony supposedly has really big news tomorrow?   Coincidence?  Possibly.  But who knows?
