Way to kill the franchise.

I dunno, Dragon Quest came out of the handheld shift pretty well.  Certainly better than Final Fantasy did in the HD shift. ;)

Erm.

Dragon Quest IX - 4.91 Million

Final Fantasy XIII - 5.82 Million

And what's funny about what you actually said is this -

Kingdom Hearts hasn't done as well with a handheld shift. If we look at the main series (BBS, as I've now learned) games...

Erm... we're talking franchise transitions.  As in PS2 to DS versus PS2 to HD.  

In Japan, BBS did almost as well as KH1 on PS2 though, which more than can be said for FFXIII (it didn't come close to any of the PS2 FFs).  The problem with PSP is outside Japan... when even Metal Gear Solid bombs on a PlayStation format, you know there's a problem.  I doubt we'll see the same issues with KH3D.
