Yes thats exactly what i believe is happening, I mean why in the world would they have STAR OCEAN 4 exclusive on the XBOX 360? |
I've heard Star Ocean has always sold better in the west then it has in Japan.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was announced multi-platform eventually though.
Star Ocean isn't a HUGE franchise. It's a name and all but it isn't a big one.
Kingdom Hearts on the other hand is something that would be quite expensive to "buy."
I'd expect a 360/PS3, Wii/PSP or Wii/PS2 option.
360/PS3 largely to tie in to people who own Blu-ray players to buy those movies, stick in some lesser known characters that flopped in movies and see what happened.
This worked really well in Japan with the Super Robot Wars Series adding some poorly performing Anime's that later got a resurgence in popularity well after they had been canceled.
This is the least likely with the PS3 selling so slowly though.
Wii/PSP A pretty popular combination lately... could help Japanese sales where the Wii has dipped below PS2.
Wii/PS2 A good option to get developing nation sales. A company like Disney caters to a lot more then Just the US, Europe and Japan.
