Yeah, it did quite well. No doubt it has made back however much the XB1 port cost them and is turning a profit. Hopefully Square Enix will reconsider the PS exclusivity for KH 1.5, 2.5, and 2.8 now. KH3 on XB1 could perform nearly as well as FFXV did if they release the earlier games on XB1 first, espeically if they released them in one big collection. |
The way FFXV turned out for the XB1 definitely helps its case. Getting the KH collections on the XB1 is still a hard sell, in my opinion for various reasons. For one thing, the KH series is nowhere as large as Final Fantasy. The other is that KH2.8 is coming out in just 4 days. Timed exclusivity, whether it's intentional or not, dampens the sales potential of the version that releases later. We see this with Rise of the Tomb Raider even though the series is more aligned with the PS fanbase than the Xbox fanbase. There might be some hope for KH 1.5 + 2.5, though those collections have been on the PS3 for a while. Those who are interested in buying KH 1.5 + 2.5 are most likely PS4 owners.
