Forums - Gaming - Kingdom Hearts 3 will be on the Xbox360 platform *Prediction*

I believe KH3 will be on both the PS3 and X360. KH3 will follow the path of FF XIII.

i think id be willing to place money on it being wii game. To me, it just seems like it would match the system perfectly.

I've always been of the mind that it'll be released on the wii. It just makes sense from a demographics sense. However i'm now positive that if it does go HD it'll be on both the ps3 and the 360. The only other option is a DS release.

You're right if its being developed for the PS3, but if by the chance it was snapped up by the Wii. Which is a big possibility as it is the clear leader worldwide and Square is trying to find increased sales. So you could also be wrong. 8-10 hrs and we will know.

It certainly won't be a Wii exclusive, but I dunno if the Wii can be discounted. Square-Enix clearly uses a PC engine in-house, and it would be an in-house team developing KH3, most likely. It would likely be based on the same engine FF13 uses, so that means that its practically on the PS360 already.

However, the Wii's fanbase... and Disney... man you know that's gonna go a long way.

I'm wagering on a rare triple-platform release, and that the PS360 versions are higher resolution (with more detailed textures), but not really on par with Final Fantasy XIII, due to the Wii's... umm... (I'm trying to say this without upsetting the fanboys) lesser stature?

 

Square-Enix and Disney have the muscle to release on whatever platforms they choose... and thus they will. They are in it for the money, after all. Pre-existing PS360 engine == low dev costs == money. Wii numbers + younger fanbase == money.

It'll hit all three.

in the ideal world that is what would happen but i dont think its going to go down like that, you make it sound so easy when you type it like that but if it was that easy then the Wii would be getting ff as well, just a lower res one. you see what i did there

Hmmm...

Remember though, that KH3 probably hasn't started development yet. It would have taken them a fair bit of effort to compensate for the Wii's lack of grunt for FFXIII, but if they built KH3 from the ground up for the Wii, it wouldn't be so bad. And Disney is nothing if not mercenary, given the way that the Wii's install base has grown, it seems foolish not to put KH3 on it, although exclusivity is certainly a contentious issue.

Disney has shown strong influence in pushing for its home games to be on the Wii. And considering the three consoles userbases, the Wii is without a doubt the best choice for KH3.

Neither the 360 nor the PS3 have a significant enough instal base in Japan to warrant a game made just for the two of them that wasn't already put into production before the Wii's surprise to the industry.

I do love the mentality of people in such threads though, "We may have lost exclusivity to FF13, but I'll be damned if the Wii gets Kingdom Hearts 3!"

Nah it will be the wii, nintendo have to have a turn kicking sony in the nuts, it cant be all M$ doing it.

If they consider the expense and the effort justified I see not reason why it won't be released on all 3 systems actually. People saying Wii or PS3 may both be partially right after all.

Whats better than a potential 100million+ Userbase to sell to by the time the game is released?



Tease.

Except the Wii has no RPGs, so the RPG install base has to have another system right now. 360+PS3 is a larger install base than Wii. FF13, Last Remnant, etc are multiplatform on those 2 systems.
