Good business move regarding FFXV.

As for KH3, it's an iffy one. On one hand, it makes sense to broaden the audience for revenue and series exposition to the XBOX fanbase, but on the other hand, it's the third part of a series that hasn't and will not see any of the previous games released on that console/XBOX brand.

So unless you're a KH fan with a XBOX One, going into a franchise so complex like KH with only just one game can possibly be a deal breaker to a lot of people. Unless, of course, they release the KH HD compilations on the 360/One, which is most unlikely.

they are banking on the fact a lot of ps2 gamers jumped to xbox

Isn't that crowd a bit of a shifting base? Those gamers probably go to whatever console is most affordable/popular/best word of mouth in each generation, so it could happen that a lot of them jump back to the PS4 or go Wii U instead of staying Xbox One.

I think Leatherhat's reasoning is the most likely scenario in the case of KH3 multiplat.
