So nobody thinks that the producer of Kingdom Hearts 2 ,who may or may not work on Kingdom Hearts 3, was justed named that way cause nobody know who he is?? Like: that's Klaas Jan Huntelaar... most people will say: "Who???" then I say: football player for Real Madrid.. You go like: "Aaaahh.. him..." for like reference? Nobody?

Not really a fair example, I mean, he hasn't even walked onto the pitch for them yet. (Not the point I know, but I didn't know who the guy was until I remembered Ajax).

Anyway, my stance has always been I want KH3 to be either PS3 and/or 360 timed exclusive, but if it went to the Wii, I'm covered for that aswell (though i'd curse every minute of it).

At least most of the fanboy statements have died down, Nomura is a PS3 fanboy, I know him in person he told me it's going to be on PS3...

you do realize 360 is gettin FF, and SO. It makes good sense if KH3 comes on over.

Uhm yes I do as I stated they didn't want to take risks with the series which is why both PS3 and 360 are getting it especially after putting so much money into it, but in the future they can plan out their budgets a bit better then what they did for XIII cause they assumed PS3 would sell much better then it did, plus XIII is still exclusive in Japan as well as the XIII spin-offs so your point is rather moot.

Actually it would cost more to market on the Wii than on for either or both the HD consoles. The Wii has a much wider demographic so targeting them would be much more difficult, and more expensive. Third parties don't hate the Wii, they just know that advertising to such a demographic would be inefficient use of their money. As the marketing effort for such an I.P would be huge, it would make the development cost differences moot.

As for demographics, on the 360 you have a userbase which will soon have 4 RPG games selling over 2 million copies, will be familiar or introduced to the FF universe and has a voracious appetite for games. Im pretty sure it'll do well.

Dont mess with "The Hunter". We'll miss him dearly (just like Wesley Sneijder and Rafael vd Vaart). Ajax 4Life!

And to everyone raving about attach rates and successes again:

The two best sold console RPGs in Japan this gen are on Wii. Dragon Quest Swords (a crappy spin-off) and Tales of Symphonia 2 (a spin off). Hmm, something tells me that if these games sold, MAIN SERIES will definitely sell. Oh, and you can bet SE wants a piece of the Wii cake. Especially with Marvelous and Namco pushing JRPGs hard on the platform and with Monster Hunter 3 clearly assuring a lot of core gamers will get a Wii.

And yeah, I know this is Japan, but that's half of KH sales.

The best selling RPGs are on the Xbox 360 actually. Fable II, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Mass Effect.

Anyway a correction: KH1 sold 3:1 between Americas and Japan, KH2 was 2:1, and japan as a console market isn't nearly as strong as it was last generation.

What about "in Japan" is so tough to understand?

And comparing JRPGs with WRPGs is totally irrelevant, since they're not the same genre. They coincidentally share the same name, but they're quite different.

I can promise you that SE won't look at Mass Effect for a sales projection, but rather to Tales.

+1 for Benga
-1 for Squilliam

and as for me I get ignored again :'(

Oh Maxwell you make good points about trends in SE's development process you say? Me: Well yes I did, how did everyone take it? Well they just didn't care what you had to say... Me: *cry*
