Where will the remaining big JRPGs go? An overview.

@Soriku: A Valkyrie Profile game will almost certainly be at least on 360, as Tri-Ace has the Infinite Undiscovery engine ready.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is most likely on Wii. RPG is right that it might be another team, however I think he takes Nomura's fanboyism too serious. He will work with whatever team he's told to work to make the game he's paid to deliver. Obviously the guy is a genius, but he still needs to earn his money. He can oversee more than one game at the same time. The big userbase and higher percentage of kids/Disney audience is the main reason for me to think it will be on Wii.

I expect an eventual SMT to be PS3 exclusive or HD-multiplat. The Persona and/or Devil's Summoner spin-offs might go to Wii, but I think that these are also more likely on PS3. Don't know, I simply see it as a PS franchise (despite the first one being on the SNES). I think they're likely to take the route Torillian posted: not too much graphical fidelity. The series' never needed the graphic-core audience anyway.

Suikoden VI is 50-50 imo. Konami hasn't been too big on Wii, but this might be an easy chance of bringing a big, but not too big franchise over with lower development costs. And I have the feeling this will simply follow Dragon Quest. (IX-Tierkreis: DS, X-VI: WIi).
