If its 2nd half 2011 .... seriously guys, Wii HD or whatever the Wii's successor has to be seriously considered too as its completely plausible that by then that system will be out. 

Not necessarily at the exclusion of the 360/PS3, but maybe a full-on three way multi-platform release.

The other thing about the 360/PS3 though to be honest ... good gawd almighty do these platforms stink at moving any kind of hardware that has bright colorful characters let alone Disney characters. 

Banjo-Threeie? Flop. LittleBigPlanet? Should've set up shop on the Wii. Ratchet & Clank PS3? Despite a pretty big ad campaign, poor results. Blue Dragon on the 360? Dead on arrivial in the Western markets. Viva Pinata? Pokemon meets Animal Crossing with 1/1000th of the sales. 

I honestly can't think of game on either the 360 or PS3 that has been a huge hit with a more "colorful" vibe. 

Anyway, Banjo may have been a flop, but LBP sold remarkably well- over 2 million, that's more than Mass Effect, and it'll probably end up higher than BioShock. And it sold better than a lot of "casual" games on the Wii. I hate it when people say LBP would sell better on Wii. LBP would have to be highly gimped to run on Wii.

As for Ratchet and Clank PS3, it launched on an abysmal userbase in a time when the PS3 was failing in sales, and people were predicting it would go the way of the DreamCast (PS3 iz teh doomedz phase 1). 1.5 million in those circumstances is pretty good.

And the PS2 sold Kingdom Hearts, so the PS3 can as well. You can't compare a new IP, a new IP second rate JRPG, a simulation game involving pinatas and two platformers from rather small series to one of the biggest JRPG series around (behind Final Fantasy, and that's about it)
