bolded: were those games released on x360? ;)

Square has no interest on Xbox confirmed.

Well, why do you think they weren't released on the 360? Because they wouldn't sell much anyway, even if there probably was some cash from Sony involved, you have to think that SE would have certainly taken the extra sales from the 360/Wii U version if they'd thought that that would generate more money than Sony offered them.

Now FFXV and KH3 are of course totally different beasts, way more expensive to make than HD remakes of PS2 games, but also with the possibility to generate way more sales, that is why SE decided to put those games out on X1 as well as the PS4, they know they're going to get the majority of their sales on the PS4, but they also hope that these games will make more money on the X1 than the porting to the X1 costs (if that holds true remains to be seen). With the Wii U they obviously don't feel the same, porting would be more time consuming and expensive since the Wii U is noticably weaker than the other two consoles (I know you disagree with this, but you're pretty much alone with that opinion) and the couple games that SE did release on the Wii U did horrible, for whatever reason you choose to believe.

Just think about it that way, where are the Wii U games from SE? They have literally no game announced for the console, even though they have already released Tomb Raider on the other 2 systems and have announced 5 more games coming out on them as well, if that's not screaming 'not interested in Wii U development' to you, then I don't know what to tell you.

make up your mind. first you mention KH 1.5 hd as if it had relevance, than it sudenly ddoesn't matter.

bold: this isn't about making a game, it's about porting.

bold2: what couple games? there were precisely 2. DQ X was a japan only MMO late port from wii and still did great. it's certainly profiting. the only other game was the supper late deus ex, wich was also rereleased for ps360 costing $30 vs $50.

The wii u is noiceably weaker than xone as much as xone is noticeably weaker than ps4. a difference far smaller between ps360 and pcs (that didn't stop ps360 from running on mid the games pc ran on ultra). overal, it's jus a bunch of excuses everyone keeps making up.

I'm not saying it's not relevant, KH 1.5 HD is one sign of many, if you want to you can exchange that for every other SE game that didn't release on the Wii U and that isn't going to release on the Wii U.

bold: Porting a game isn't free either and porting FFXV or KH3 to the Wii U would still most certainly be more expensive than making an HD version of an old PS2 game.

bold2: No the game did not sell great also don't act as if you know that the game is profitable on Wii U, cause you don't. The thing is this, SE has nothing announced for the Wii U, this strongly indicates that they're not happy with the performance of their previous efforts on the console, what the reasons for those poor results were is something I'm not gonna discuss here.

I'm not going to discuss this console power thing with you either, I've seen you dicuss it with other people and your opinion on this can't be changed anyway and you won't change my opinon on the matter either, so why bother? Simple fact is this, there is zero SE support on the horizon for the Wii U, so expecting Kingdom Hearts, which has never been on a Nintendo home console, and the next mainline Final Fantasy, which hasn't appeared on a Nintendo home console for almost 20 years now, to release on the Wii U is awefully optimistic.
