They've said before that Red Steel 3 depends on the success of Red Steel 2. But I don't buy that one bit. They're going to abandon a sword fighting franchise now that motion is the new standard? Red Steel 3 will most likely be a multiplat game.

I doubt that, Jason Vandenberghe has emphazised Red Steel as a Wii franchise, and that they wouldn't bring Red Steel 2 to other platforms for this reason. Most likely they will probably create a new franchise with lots of blood and gore if they go PS360, or maybe that's just me. I still like the RS2 approach better though.

Of course it's a Wii franchise right now, since the Wii is the only console that can offer it. But once motion is the new standard, Ubisoft would have no inherent reason to keep it exclusive to a single console. It's possible that sales of the next generation consoles might play out in a way where it makes sense to release it as an exclusive (if one console takes the early lead like the PS2 did).

I guarantee we'll see sequels on more than just the Wii.

It was emphasized as a Wii franchise with regards to Red Steel 2 being ported to PS3 with Move controls. I certainly think Ubisoft can move it to other consoles in later generations, but I don't think we will see a Red Steel game on other consoles than Nintendo's this generation.
