Forums - Gaming - Will Square-Enix Announce Kingdom Hearts 3 At E3?

Vetteman94 on 15 April 2009

I dont think we will hear anything this year, maybe next year E3. Because then FFvsXIII will be basically done, FFVIII would be out in all regions. And they will have the resources to actually work on it. As for the console, I will say PS3 or Wii exclusive.

I think it will be PS3 exclusive

I'm not a fan of KH but...

it will go all platforms

Wii- Kingdom Hearts 3.1
360- Kingdom Hearts 3.2
PS3- Kingdom Hearts 3.3



you need all consoles to finish the game

I don't think there will be a KH3. The sequel sold much less and the subsequent off-shoots/spin-offs have not been hyper-sellers.

In addition, I am not sure what is left for the series and SE can't bring it out before 2011. (We have no indications work has begun on the game and SE has not shown it can do a game in less than two years). That would mean five years between main installments. For comparison, four is usually SE's max (DQ runs on four year cycles, though they have occasionally reached five and IX and X might be closer. KH and its sequel were four years. Meanwhile, FFs usually come every 2-3 years).

DQX and IX will be closer from each other because one is for the handhelds and the other for consoles.

But with that apart, I think that whenever KH3 gets announced, which is a no brainer, will happen at a Japanese event, not a US event. I'd say HD multiplat or Wii exclusive, no PS3 exclusive, never gonna happen, the userbase is the smallest in every region.

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.

I also want to tie this thread with the one about whether GT5 will sell better or is more popular than Halo. Based on the excessive amount of post from PS Fanboys:

-They claim that GT5 will win because it sells better worldwide (specially in EU and Japan) unlike Halo
-Halo only sells a lot thanks to the US,

Based on those stupid deductions about why GT5 will sell better then we can only assume that SE will be looking at bringing KH3 to the 360 or Wii or both cuz KH SELLS BETTER in America and Wii dominates Japan

Proof:
KH1:
Region Japan America Others Total
Total Sales 1.24m 3.45m 0.81m 5.50m

KH2:
Region Japan America Others Total
Total Sales 1.16m 2.06m 0.47m 3.69m

Well All I can deduct from those numbers is that despite having a larger install base at launch, KH2 didnt sell well compared to the original.   In fact the only region that had stable numbers between the 2 games is Japan,  Sure it only sold 1.2 million per game but it didnt see a significant dropoff like the other 2 regions did.   So why put it on the 360 when its userbase is deteriorating in the only region that the 360 is strongest?   Which is why I said PS3 or Wii exclusive,   Wii makes so much sense there is no need to explain it.  PS3 exclusive for the bigger userbase in Japan, which I would garuntee that it would sell at least what the first 2 did in Japan.

Well since Nomura and the KH team are already working on 3 KH-titles and FFversusXIII. I wouldn't rule out the fact that Nomura might be working on another FFVII spin-off. I don't think we're gonna see Kingdom Hearts 3 this gen...

I agree with you that Japan is the stable region for the game, however the U.S. still had pretty strong sales. What makes no sense is your comment about "PS3 exclusvie for the bigger userbase in Japan." Yea, well considering the bigger userbase is actuallyt the Wii and if you bring it to the the States then the 360 is no brainer. In fact, KH3 really belongs on DS since that's the only system dominating all territories, in fact, I have no doubts that SE is waiting to see Dragon Quest sales on DS when it comes out to see if they give it the green light for DS or not.



What are you looking at, nerd?

When I said the "PS3 exclusvie for the bigger userbase in Japan" I was comparing it to the 360, I wasnt completely clear on that part.  And I did say that it coming to the Wii makes so much sense there is no need to explain it.  And it probably will go to the Wii exclusively.   I also think that the next KH game will be a huge project, which in my eyes, eliminates the handhelds altogether.  Not that the DS is a bad choice, it moves software very well. I just think that from the developers standpoint they will want to do something extraordinary, which I think will require a console.

I was just thinking about it, I really want it to come out on the Wii rather than the PS3/360. I own a 360, but I would definitely rather play a KH game on my Wii. It just seems like it would be so much more fun.
