I used to be firmly in the "KH3 will be for Wii" camp, because of the Wii's higher install base, the Wii's cheaper dev costs, Disney's liking for Nintendo, and the ability to pair the Wiimote with a Keyblade, but now I'm not so sure.

Outside of Guitar Hero and the Lego titles, most games sell better on ps3 than Wii, let alone ps3 and 360 combined. With Japanese devs seemingly returning to the ps3 more and more these days (Alterier Rorona, Ar Tonelico III, 3D Dot Game Heroes, etc.), and Square's heavy investment in ps3/360 development already, I'm beginning to think mutliplat ps3/360 is the more likely option for the series.

A KH3 on Wii would sell millions, to be sure, but it would probably sell a decent bit better on the ps3/360. The question is whether the disparity in dev costs would make a ps3/360 version worth it.

But then, DQX went to Wii. So who knows.

Much like Star Ocean 4 went to the 360, only to be released on the PS3 a year later. SE accepts moneyhats. I'm not saying DQX will be released elsewhere, but what really happened there was a moneyhat by Nintendo, and there's no doubt about that. The timing of the announcement, the total lack of information confirms it.

Plus PS3 is starting to get a lot of support from SE... FFXIII, FFvsXIII, FFXIV, Star Ocean 4, The Last Remnant (supposedly), Nier, Front Mission Evolved and with the acquisition of Eidos, the list will grow.

Trestres that is a very delusional thing to say. DQ goes where Japan is. Now you can argue that it should have went to the DS, but at the time of the announcement(and this is probably still the case) square-enix didn't even start the game. It was(and probably still is) in it's planning stages. They might have expected new Handhelds by the time they release DQX on the Wii(which btw I think DQX will have a similar release that FFXII had.) So let's say we discount handhelds, the only other place it will have a decent enough install base was Wii. Even if it is true that Nintendo moneyhatted(which I doubt they had a motive to let alone did do that), it still is a valid point that the game would have went to Wii(when not counting DS) anyway.
