In fact the only region that had stable numbers between the 2 games is Japan, Sure it only sold 1.2 million per game but it didnt see a significant dropoff like the other 2 regions did. So why put it on the 360 when its userbase is deteriorating in the only region that the 360 is strongest? Which is why I said PS3 or Wii exclusive, Wii makes so much sense there is no need to explain it. PS3 exclusive for the bigger userbase in Japan, which I would garuntee that it would sell at least what the first 2 did in Japan. I agree with you that Japan is the stable region for the game, however the U.S. still had pretty strong sales. What makes no sense is your comment about "PS3 exclusvie for the bigger userbase in Japan." Yea, well considering the bigger userbase is actuallyt the Wii and if you bring it to the the States then the 360 is no brainer. In fact, KH3 really belongs on DS since that's the only system dominating all territories, in fact, I have no doubts that SE is waiting to see Dragon Quest sales on DS when it comes out to see if they give it the green light for DS or not. |
When I said the "PS3 exclusvie for the bigger userbase in Japan" I was comparing it to the 360, I wasnt completely clear on that part. And I did say that it coming to the Wii makes so much sense there is no need to explain it. And it probably will go to the Wii exclusively. I also think that the next KH game will be a huge project, which in my eyes, eliminates the handhelds altogether. Not that the DS is a bad choice, it moves software very well. I just think that from the developers standpoint they will want to do something extraordinary, which I think will require a console.
