........just no. The "kid market" may have been flush with the PS2, but the "kid market" didn't buy KH. Nostalgic people that wanted to mix what was apart of their childhoods with what they're playing now (Final Fantasies) bought this game. Do you really think kids put forth 50+ hours to have intense action, great character development, and understood how a complex plot unfolds? I'm getting sick of people saying that KH is a "kid's game" just because Mickey Mouse in it. If you didn't realize, Mickey Mouse is actually a lot more relevant to people who have more history with his entity (relative to how it was applied in this game), which aren't 5 year old kids. Couple that with the mix of FF characters, and KH is no way a "kid's game"

Secondly....it doesn't have the userbase to recoup costs. So I guess that when the 360 only had 5 million sales, the userbase was too small to recoup costs for Gears. Too small for Oblivion. And mid-last year, with only about 12 million, it was too small for Bioshock, too small for Halo 3, too small for Mass Effect. Why is it that only the PS3's userbase is always "too small" yet the Wii and 360 got big games when their respective userbases were smaller than what the PS3's is now, yet every game made exclusively was a smart decision, and could be made profitable? PLUS, think about it. By the time this game releases, won't the userbase likely be HIGHER than the 360's (which, according to the users ofthis site, is the userbase number that can turn profit, no matter what it is relative to the other consoles)

Who said anything about playing the game all the way through?  You seem to think that people look at the title on the shelf and instantly know everything about it.   Of course there are kids out there who bought it and played it...yes because it has Mickey Mouse in it.  Even then, kids have the most free time of anyone so yeah I could easily see them putting a ton of time into the game.  But for the sake of your argument maybe they didn't put 50+ hours in but then how the hell would they have known they needed to at the start?  This is just horribly flawed logic.  Quite honestly we have no numbers to determine which group is larger but if you consider the typical "har har Wii is for kiddies" attitude of your average PS3/360 gamer I don't think its likely for the nostalgia group to be very large at all.

I don't think anyone is claiming that the game would lose money on the PS3..perhaps I missed it though so you may have to cite that.  The argument I have made and others have made is that there is significantly more money to be made on the Wii due to lower development costs and much larger raw sales. So really this entire paragraph is more or less a straw man argument unless I just missed someone saying something this silly...in which case they were wrong.
