Jan. 29 is such an awkward release date for such a big game. You'd think they'd either do extra crunch time to get it out by December or else wait til March and polish up a lot more. Jan. 29 release date gives me a bad vibe. It shows they don't have a lot of confidence in their game.

January has been a key month for a few years now, especially for Japanese developers. Nier, Yakuza, Monster Hunter World, RE7, Dragon Ball Fighther  Z and Ni-oH just to name a few off thr top of my head, all released to major success during January. 

KH is more popular than all those titles.

Actually this is my point.  I usually expect smaller or experimental titles to come out in January.  RE7 is the only one that I would call a guaranteed big seller.  All of the others are smaller except for MHW and DBFZ.  MHW and DBFZ were "experimental".  They both sold a lot better than their predecessors because they were trying something new.

Perhaps Kingdom Hearts 3 is trying to change up the formula and try something new?  That would be the best case scenario.
