Well you are talking rubbish, it is the summer, no consoles have any games launching then
Okay, you do realise that people don't just say, this is a Disney game, I don't fit into their demographics, so I won't buy the game. It is an RPG, RPG is not a franchise just for small children? In JP, KH sold about 1.24m copies, now is Disney a massive factor in JP? It is a Square Enix made game, with Disney characters in there
Of course the generation and demographics of the console are not set in stone, that is just a stupid thing to say. PS2 started with just hardcores, before the casuals came. M$ and Sony are both moving to appeal to the casual audience, that is the point of the Xbox 360 arcade, your in the moves.... bla bla bla, and though You're in the Movies did not do that well, nor did Lips, the demographics are chaining, the Xbox is no longer the shooterbox. Sony is changing too, at last year's Leipzig conference, Sony annoucned EyePet, and showed off more Singstar, these games are very clearly casual games. A lower price is obviously going to entice more casual gamers. The Wii did not really found casual gaming, PlayStation did with games like Buzz, Eye Toy and Singstar. There is probably some sort of loyalty there, and as you go through the generation, the demographics of a console will vary more, and the casual demographic is likely to become more prevelant through this generation. It is not set in stone

That is 100% pure grade bullshit. Neither of them created "casual" gaming. The whole reason consoles were created was because mass appeal and ease, AKA bringing in the mass market usually known as the casual gamers, the hardcore gamers were all on PC and even shunned the "kids" that played consoles as not real gamers much like the nerds do today. If you want to get technical here the Magnavox Odyssey was the creation of casual gaming.
Yup, I worded that poorly, I was just getting pissed off.
@the main argument here
Disney controls the IP like I said before it's up in the air where it goes but Disney is more likely to go after the largest install base and a base that fits their demographics. This gives a severe disadvantage to both PS3 and 360, I'd say Disney would want it on the Wii unless Square somehow convinces them otherwise.
It does indeed, but how much do Disney know about the games market, I am sure that SE, with more knowledge and more influence would certainly have a decent impact. Disney can't make this game without SE {well it wouldn't sell as well}. The only thing we can do is wait really, the game won't be out for ages anyway
