Soriku....do you think that alot more people will buy KH3 than bought KH2, even though it's a continuation of the same story?

Many people seem to think that user base is the most important factor in how well a game cells, but for an established franchise I would argue that fanbase is the most important factor.

How do you know most of thr fanbase isn't on the Wii right now? There's no evidence to support the theory that all (or most) PS2 owners have bought a PS3. Anyway, if they were REALLY fasn of KH they would buy the system it's on ANYWAY. If they don't, that's console loyalty not game loyalty. Either way, people who didn't own a PS2 could easily buy KH3 and be new to the series. That's one more person added to the fanbase.

 

But your argument is that KH3 will sell alot better on the Wii because of the larger user base.  I'm just not sure it would have as big of an effect as you think.  An established franchise is mainly going on its fanbase, and you're absolutely right that those fans would buy whatever consule the game is on, I'm just not sure that the game would see millions more sales simply by being on the larger userbase of the Wii.
