Forums - Gaming Discussion - Do FFXV and KH3 really make more sense on the XBO than the Wii U?

Easier to port from PS4 to XBO



Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

KH3 makes a lot sense on Wii U imo.
I dont think FF would sell much though.



If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

I agree. I don't think most X1 owners are interested in those games, whereas Wii U owners would be very interested in playing them.

An X1 port is easy. A WiiU port is not.

SE could definitely make a profit on a WiiU version, maybe even more than on the X1, but ultimately they probably decided it wasn't worth the effort or time involved. The X1 version on the other hand is like free money (well, almost :p).



XBO has more power. Doubt there's much of an audience on the system though since Xbox has never had a Kingdom Hearts game.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Zero999 is that you? :p



Didn't you or someone else make this exact same thread like a year ago?

Anyway, the reason is obvious, porting from PS4 to X1 is simple, they're roughly the same architectures even, PS4 is just a bit faster.

I could be wrong but just because its Disney doesn't mean its gaurunteed to sell on a Nintendo platform either. I believe Square-Enix was kinda let down by Kingdom Hearts' sales on the 3DS. I think they were expecting more. 



Money. That's the answer. Not just that it will sell better but also much much lower dev costs.
I can name at least one more reason for FFXV not to be on Wii U.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

If they want a Japanese audience go for Wii U. If they want a western audience go for XB1



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

Thanks for all the great memories!

For FFXV they'd have to scale down the graphics for the WiiU version, KH 3 does make more sense. I guess SE saw relative success with the Ff XIII series on Xbox, so they are making another. Also easier to port from ps4 to one.
Money may have influence as well. Will buy both on the One.
