Bottom line is, 3rd party non-casual games do NOT sell on the Wii. Having a larger install base is irrelevant in this example because a majority of the Wii's install base are casual gamers. How many copies did Fire Emblem sell? or FF Crystal Chronicles? or Dragon Quest Swords? KH3 will not sell as many copies on the Wii as it would on the PS3 or XBox 360. In Fact, no 3rd party game has sold more than 3 million copies on the Wii as of this moment. The PS3 has 2 (GTAIV, COD4) and the 360 has 3 (GTAIV, COD4, Assassin's Creed). The Wii may have a larger fanbase, but unfortunately the only games that sell big on the system are usually the 1st party Nintendo games. That's a fact that all 3rd party developers are well aware of.

Imo i see more chance of this coming to the PS360,
and maybe a spin off (IE like the PSP and DS game) going to the Wii, hell they might even port the PSP version of the game to the Wii with updated GFX etc.

And the HD consoles are not just about having HD gfx they do allow for more stuff.
it's like if you play COD4 etc on a SD TV it still looks better then "Any" Wii game.

so yes KH3 could look alot better on the PS360 then it ever could on the Wii in everything from art to style etc,
now imo the one thing i'd say the Wii could have going for it would be the controls,
but then since i played the other 2 games with a PS2 joypad and loved them i'm sure id have no problem playing part 3 with a normal joypad too.
And imo i believe i'd be more happy with KH3 using the power of the PS360 then having Wiimote controls that might not even add much more fun to it.

So i see KH3 going to PS360, and a new spin off or a port of the PSP game going to the Wii..
Too bad the wii is outselling them both  together in japan. Why would graphics matter that much. Especially to disney.

And too bad 3rd party multiplatform games that are released on all 3 systems are selling more on the PS3 and XBox 360 in general.

Fallacy  Having a larger install base is irrelevant in this example because a majority of the Wii's install base are casual gamers. How many copies did Fire Emblem sell?More than most srpgs do. Fire emblem is first party though so I don't know where  your point comes with this. or FF Crystal Chronicles?It is on the top ten most downloaded games or Dragon Quest Swords 650k more japanese sales than any ps360 game. KH3 will not sell as many copies on the Wii as it would on the PS3 or XBox 360. In Fact, no 3rd party game has sold more than 3 million copies on the Wii as of this moment.I believe mario and sonic at the olympics sold 4+ million. For some reason I can't find it in the database to confirm it. The PS3 has 2 (GTAIV, COD4) and the 360 has 3 (GTAIV, COD4, Assassin's Creed). The Wii may have a larger fanbase, but unfortunately the only games that sell big on the system are usually the 1st party Nintendo games. That's a fact that all 3rd party developers are well aware of.NO that is a fallacy that only fanboys are aware of. 
Your post is all wrong. Oh and give me examples of these big non casual 3rd parties games on the wii that are as big as GtaIV CoD 4 or Assasin's Creed. Meaning they had as much advertisement and were built off hype.

That's a good idea put two consoles against one. Both having much higher developement costs, and far less sales in japan. OH and btw a game called Dragon Quest Swords(which sucks really bad) that is on the wii sold more copies in japan then any other ps3 or 360 game.

Oh and btw, the wii is increasing more than both the ps360 so by the time kh3 is planned it will probably hold 50%+ of the market and 70%+ of the japanese market.



Oddly enough Square-Enix is the only major third party developer I would ever expect to see put a major title on the Wii.

Agreed. Square Enix already said that the Wii, Ds , and PS3 are their main platforms. Now if they are treating a secondary platform(360) very good with some nice looking games, I can't wait until  I see how they treat the wii, and Ps3. I already am pretty sure that dragon quest X will go to the wii, somewhat sure about KH#(even though it's mostly disney's desicion)  and there will be alot of new francises from SE on it.

 



With the performance of the PSP as of late maybe they'll just put it on the PSP.

With the recent upward trend in potato sales, maybe they'll put it on an electrified potato.  ^_^
