I hope the fanboys screaming "serves them right" and the likes realize that dumping on them is not going to suddenly make everything go PS3 exclusive. It's not like the console is doing that much better in Japan anyway.

Please don't come in here trolling.

No one is talking about exclusively developing on the PS3.  We're talking about not exclusively developing on the lowest selling console in Japan, and developing on the Wii and the PS3 more, not giving exclusive games to the 360.

Please check your PS3 hate, and smart-ass remarks at the door.  Thank you.



Very good news. Impressive I might add.

As we know, SE has been going down the drain lately, most of the games they make that dont have FF or DQ in the title fail terribly. The bad thing is that they are blaming their customers, but it's their fault ultimately, for releasing so many crap spin-offs and remakes/ports. The other fact that will take them down once and for all is that they will ignore the Wii this gen, as if it doesn't exist, while they will be giving the 360 all the support they can. What a stupid decision, but hey, it's them who want to go bankrupt.

It wouldn't surprise me to see KH3 announced at jump festa for the 360 this year.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

 I believe you are being a bit pessimistic (except for FF13), but even if it makes 9M, that makes 2008 + 2009 = ~ 13M

2006 + 2007 = 14M

 

Which means that there is no real dropoff in SE's sales, which I believe was Rei's point.

What about revenue?

 

 More so what about profit? In the end that is what really matters, PROFIT.

Thanks to Sony and Nintendo, which still begs the question why SE continue to make 360 exclusives. I am sire losses are being covered by MS but Wada is assuming here that MS will want part of SE for the rest of its future. If SO4 releases on 360 and does not do well a PS3 port 6 months later sure wont help sales, I think if SE really want to support the 360 then mukti plats are the way to go.

SO4 + FFXIII + Versus all multi plat + Wii support = SE making big money

If anything I'm being optimistic....especially for DQ9 & the DS KH game

I wouldn't be surprised at all about KH3 exclusive to 360.

With SE so deep in MS's pockets, it's bound to happen.

 I think the Wii's problem, from SE's view, is that it is really inferior to the DS in every way.

- DS is cheaper

- Titles sell more on DS.

 

And I believe that SE want 2 things. 1) Profit and 2) Make awesome "epic" adventures. Of course they want to be able to do both, but when their main focus is at 1) The competition is Wii, DS and PsP. At the current time, Wii loses to DS in every way, thus getting no support. For 2) It is Ps3 vs X360. If Microsoft pays them money, they can worry less about 1), and thus not have to cut corners.

@DmesiteRJ

that extremely unlikely as 360 will probably never even get to LTD Install Base of the first two KH game SW sales in Japan (they both sold 1.2 Million +)
