Making KH 1.5 and 2.5 HD as exclusives makes no sense

If you’re going to do a HD collection you may as well do it for as many consoles as possible PC PS VITA PS3 PS4 Xbox 360 Xbox One and Wiiu. The idea is to try and expand your series as well as cater to existing fans whatever console there on especially with a significant entry in the series coming up. Not that I’m surprised since this is SE where talking about I’m just glad it wasn’t iOS/android exclusive.

It's is a Fact that JRPG don't sell great on Xbox 360.

Again, what's the evidence on this?

WiiU and PS ? Yup, that would make sense.

But 360 ? Just check the sales of any Japanese game on the console, including JRPGs.

Sales of japanese games on the console prove you wrong, actually.

Yeah, of course. Final Fantasy XIII, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns had massive sales on the 360. Like Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odissey, etc...

The only Japanese game that sold well on the 360 is Resident Evil 5. Seriously.

Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

Are you serious? With the exception of FF13(the first one) i never saw one JRPG sell 1+million on xbox360(maybe Dark souls but that game is a WRPG made by japanese devs).If KH 1.5HD sold 1m on PS3,a 360 port would sell(in the best case scenario) 500K.

The Kingdom Hearts franchise is scattered among several consoles: ps2, GBA, psp, DS and 3DS. Because of that, it's probable that only some diehard fans have played all the games in the franchise. With that in mind, it makes complete sense to develop two HD collections, featuring 6 out of 7 games in the franchise. What makes piss poor sense is to make said collections exclusive to one platform. it's completely counter productive to the basic idea of allowing several people who couldn't play all the titles to do so. it's even a great option to bring new fans but the potential get's wasted.

The correct move would be releasing 1.5 and 2.5 on both Wii U, xbox 360 and ps3, allowing the biggest possible audience to play those six games and get ready for Kingdom Hearts 3.

I definately agree with you! I only suspect that they wanted to minimize cost of production. Furthermore, they should release these on the ps4 and xone to maximize next gen interest in KH3. While I only have Sony gaming consoles currently I'd love to see KH3 on Wii U as well!

I've noticed that very little in this world makes sense to Zero999. What does that tell us?

The only Japanese game that sold well on the 360 is Resident Evil 5. Seriously.

Blue Dragon is the fourth top selling exclusive JRPG of the seventh generation, only behind Tales of Xillia, Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls. Lost Odyssey is the fifth one.

Final Fantasy XIII pulled two million units. XIII-2 and Lightning Returns didn't, but still.

Catherine was profitable enough that Atlus put Persona 4 Arena on 360.

Deadly Premonition was a success, for what it was.

Dark Souls reached 850,000 units sold the other day, and it is still selling.

Seriously, what's your evidence, again?

EDIT: Correction, and behind Ni No Kuni. Blue Dragon is the fifth, LO is the sixth.
