It is quite likely. Hell they may even release it as a $20 title on PSN in another 6 to 12 months.


lol, what makes you think they'll make this game some cheap PSN title knowing what they're holding it up as? Laughable.

Because its low distribution costs with relatively high margins on the dollars earnt. Also the game would be 6 to 12 months older by then and the revenue from the Wii will probably have been spent.

You could say that for a lot of games but it doesn't happen, as much as people like to pull the "$15-$20" PSN card for ports. They'd never do that for this game.

Never say never again.



Tease.

Pachter always makes the obvious predictions. Of course, now that he got some news on the low sale of epic mickey, he predicts what is the most obvious action to happen.



If it doesnt do well on the Wii I really dont see how putting more money into it to port it over to the PS3 is a good choice.

This.



Currently Playing: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Anticipating: Xenoblade, The Last Story, Mario Kart 7, Rayman Origins, Zelda SS, Crush3D, Tales of the Abyss 3DS, MGS:Snake Eater 3DS, RE:Revelations, Time Travellers, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, Luigi's Mansion 2, MH TriG, DQ Monsters, Heroes of Ruin

If it helps achieve greater sales, then I'm all for it. But for God's sake, let the Wii version breathe a bit. This game can sell millions (yes, that's plural) given time.

A PS3 port announcement could cut the sales of BOTH versions.

I think this would be a perfect fit for the PS3 and Move.  Especially since they could revaamp the graphics and overall look of the game to look more like the early concept art for the game.  Hope this happens.


But the Move controls for drawing (pointer) are slow and unprecise. I think it will be always difficult to bring Wii games to the PS3 that use pointer controls and the games will make the Move users not happy.



Very unlikely; especially considering the relationship between Disney and Nintendo, particularly seen with them siding with Nintendo and the 3DS for video delivery service.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Considering the poor sales and merely decent reviews the Wii version currently has, I doubt it. Further factoring in the limited size of the PS3-owners-with-Move-who-would-buy-a-low-resolution-Disney-game audience, I doubt it even more.



Here I was worrying that it wasn't gonna remain an exclusive. Thanks Pachter.

Too bad. I'd really like to play it.
