Square Enix's distaste for the Wii is almost palpable.

My exact thoughts, down grade graphics on the Wii/PS2 and upgrade graphics to HD for PS3 and 360.

SE would make the most money this way.



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

That's what I'm talking about...Please SE and Disney, make this happen.

 

DS2 it is then. 

Does anyone really care *that* much about this franchise anyway? S-E has already started pimping it out by releasing multiple portable KH titles, no doubt it will probably eventually be milked onto every console. 

If Square-Enix wants to do something big, make a Nintendo-Square-Enix RPG, that would be a sales monster even bigger than the mainline FF games. 

If by meltdowns, you mean people upset, I think it should go to the N-Gage.

 

It's obvious it's gonna go to the Wii, but I'm really, really, REALLY hoping it goes to the iphone or PS2 for maximum meltdown damage.



There will be a HD and Wii version probably.

I love it how the Xbox 360 DOESN'T EXIST IN THESE DEBATES. Its like wow, a Wii vs PS3 wankfest. Why with any number of comical reasons would the game be on the PS3 exclusively when the Wii and Xbox 360 have far higher market penetration? This is a blockbuster, it doesn't matter how much it costs to make its all about how much it can sell. The advertising budget will be massive and that still doesn't preclude the Wii from being its primary system because likely 50+% of your previous generation KH owners will be using those systems because either they are hardcore and own 2 or more or because they were the casual PS2 owners.

For that reason PS3 exclusivity is completely out of the picture.

Here are some options.

1. Wii exclusivity: 50% chance.

The Wii is probably the best system for this game, the current demographics and massive market share attest to this. Its the only individual system where the game has the highest potential for sales, and they could challege Nintendos dominance at the top if the game is good enough and sell in multiples of 3M as per how good it is. Good = 3M sales, Great = 6M sales, Outstanding = 9M sales, Generation defining = 12M+ sales. The unknowns are SE and Disneys goals for this game and Microsofts actions.

2. Wii/Xbox 360/PS3: 20% chance.

Theres the Wii again, it will likely be on the Wii one way or another and probably the primary system at that. Releasing it on more than one system is just your typical making more money by targetting the widest possible market share.

2. Xbox 360 exclusivity: 20% chance.

As the Xbox 360 approaches the $100-$150 price bracket they need a game which is both family friendly and able to be permamently bundled with the system. They don't have LBP and they don't have Nintendos core franchises which are both likely candidates to improve the diversity of the demographic. This game is worth 3* more than any Gears of War or Metal Gear Solid exclusivity because they already cater to those markets extremely well. This game is worth millions to them and a money hat in the $50-150 Million range will do wonders for the future viability of the Xbox 360 platform especially once the Nextbox is released and they will want to maintain the sales of the 360 far beyond the generation cut out point.

$150 Arcade with Kingdom Hearts release 2010/2011? Yes please. When a series is valuable like this one, never discount the possibility that Microsoft will open their chequebook wide.

4. Xbox 360/PS3 HD exclusive: 10% chance.

Really, who are we kidding? The demographics for the consoles are strongly in the 20s and 30s range for both consoles. HD console owners are getting old now. Disney are a company which targets a much younger demographic and the series has always been about the Disney characters and NOT the SE characters. The possibility is only open because the Xbox 360 covers the wider demographic of the two, The PS3 on its own is completely out of the picture.

 

 

 



Tease.

Anywhere but PS3.



It`s going where Nomura will say. =))
And it`s going to 2011 in best case. =]

It will be a PS3 EXCLUSIVE, if FFXIII sales will deliver on PS3. =)
If not, then it will be PS360 game.

Wii will get a spin-off.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

PS2 wouldn't create too many meltdowns because Sony fanoys wll still revel in it being on a Sony platform and 360 fans won't care.

Now Ngage...that wold cause riots.

Which is why Square doesn't let me have any input.
