A 3rd-party publisher will publish for as large an audience as it can, on as small a budget as it can, in every case, unless they're paid not to. They clearly have an engine which runs on the PC, PS3, and 360 (or they wouldn't have announced it as a port for their flagship, FF13). Obviously they have some Wii experience as well -- and it would be a piece of cake to downport a PC engine to the Wii.

The KH series has always had a simplistic art style compared to the rest of Square-Enix's projects. Its probably an easy downport, and in support of the triple-release idea, SE has a working PS360 engine already.

It'll hit all three, almost without question as I see it, unless one of the console makers is willing to fork out some exclusivity $$ to both SE *and* Disney. Disney isn't going to be pushed around by any paltry sum, either -- and that supports the "all three" outlook heavily, IMO. Compared even to MS, Disney is a monster.

My take on it: Unless it's confirmed by the words of Hideo Kojima, NO 3rd party game is a garanteed exclusive.

Kojima had my full respect b4, and he will continue to have it.

Considering we also need to think about the other dev behind this game, Disney, who has pretty much stayed with the Wii and DS almost this entire generation, I mean Wii is the platform it's looking like. NOt to mention if the game has ever seen rumor or hype from anyone its been on the Wii platform. I'm not denying a PS360 chance, it's just right now everything is pointing towards Wii.

That's pathetic damage control windbane, just pathetic.

RPGs don't sell well on the 360 despite their number and by the time Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out the Wii will have more RPGs than the PS3 does. Hell your argument only holds together by combining the Ps3 and 360, the PS3 or 360 alone are nothing for saving your case.

Even then you need look no further than the Wii's dominance in Japan and Disney's favor of the Wii to see the obvious direction of where this game is going. Keep telling yourself KH3 won't be on the Wii, what will you do though when it is announced though?

There's no reason to think it will be on the 360 or PS3 in addition to the Wii, by that logic we can expect to see Monster Hunter 3 Tri or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on the 360 and PS3 as well. The Wii is the only console that can carry exclusives and still turn a profit for the developer. It is also the only console with a userbase ideal for Kingdom Hearts 3.

Only now after fearing losing Kingdom Hearts 3 to the Wii do people make such radical arguments of the game being 360/PS3 exclusive or on all three consoles.

Bullshit.

I think(Considering that no one is working on it yet) that KH3 goes Wii. (If it goes exclusive) It goes Wii60 if it goes Multiplat.

i think either nintendo or sony will announce it in their conferences

actually I have an odd prediction, it will be on all platforms.

Hahahahaha! Welcome back Legend, I was wondering where you been hiding during these dark days for the 360. I guess now there is finally good news for the 360 you have the courage to show your face again.

Do you want Kingdom Hearts on the 360 too? Well I suggest you start writing lots of letters to disney because Kingdom Hearts 3 doesn't strike me as a franchise that will appeal to your typical Halo gamer.

@ SSJ12

I too have a strange gut feeling this might happen, but let's face it, the only reason anyone is predicting this game to be on all platforms is because its the only likely scenario that the game will ever be on the PS3 or 360. But hey, don't let me tell you you're wrong, I may myself be the one who is mistaken.

Its possible, and would signal a turning point in the industry.
Casual and hardcore would essentially become divided.
It would be the first time in console history that the system with the best games would fail to win the console war. Likely PS360 would end up with about 50% marketshare, while Wii gets the other 50%...
wouldn't be abd though. All the hardcroe games would get their shiny graphics and (imo) good controls, and Wii would get great sales, excellent first party games and many casuals.
BUT- what happens next gen if casuals are fickle and abandon gaming because they get bored, and Sony gets crippled by massive losses, and 360 had the best games and was seen as hardcore? Xbox 3 would probably win. But this is a doubtful scenario anyway, becuase I think KH3 is going exclusivly to Wii.
