| scottie said: @ starcraft - I'm not going to defend that position, I merely stated it was quite popular. Maybe people merely think that Wii is likely, as is Ps3. so they compromise and say PSWii. The 360 is just so unsuited to the game. MS tried for a while to get JRPGs on the 360, but soon gave up. The 360 is also not a great console for games that will inevitably be seen by the average Halo player as 'kiddie'. |
Lost Odyssey did well. And a handful of other titles have done ok. The PS3 certainly wasn't blazing the JRPG trail prior to the release of Final Fantasy XIII.
How is the most popular HD console in the West (ESPECIALLY America) unsuited to carry a game that prominently features Disney characters. The Xbox 360 has arguably shown more ability to sell a variety of games than any other console this generation. This isn't the Xbox. It still sells shooters amazingly, but it no longer JUST sells shooters.
Sports games sell millions. Music games sell millions. Platform games, fighters, strategy games and especially racers have all shown an ability to sell well.
Kingdom Hearts 3 wont be some brilliantly made game that everyone thinks is made for 4 year olds so it doesnt shift. A well ported version of KH3 on Xbox 360 could (and almost certainly would) easily sell two million. By the time this game comes out, it will require an attach ratio of less than 5% to make that happen. That would make the game profitable on the Xbox 360 alone (at least counting for development on that console). If they led with the PS3 and just ported the Xbox 360 version, they'd be making tens of millions in profit.
starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
