what would happen if the next Kingdom Hearts went 360 exclusive?

Say Kingdom Hearts 3 was only on the 360, would it push sales of the 360 so people can get their hands on it (in japan)

or would it just achieve bad sales, like only around 100,000..?

THIS IS A TOPIC ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE PROBIBILITY OF IT HAPPENING

So dont go post "but that would never happen" or "I dont think it would ever happen cause I dont read the Original Damn Topic!"

my question is, IS KINGDOM HEARTS A BIG SYSTEM SELLER

Nomura doesn't really like the 360 and has loyalty to the Playstation. Also, KH3 might not be happening as he said he's creating a seperate title dealing with the same universe. Sora isn't the main character.

There was a lot of trouble with licensing characters and dealing with Disney.

It would sell appalingly bad on the 360. Kingdom Hearts is a strange rpg, although it's loved by a lot of hardcore gamers the myspace 'emo' generation have also taken to it in spades- So in order for it to reack KH 1 and 2 pretty low sales it would have to appeal on a system that appeals to both the hardcore and casual market... I mean, I have to see proof that the casual market (outside the US) is buying into the 360.

I know it sounds like 360 hate and, in a way, I guess it could be- But i just cant imagine the 360 denographic buying into a Disney themed RPG.

The 360 would easily sell better in Japan if that was the case. It still won't match Wii or DS sales, but it will compete with PS3 and possible evenPSP sales.Supernova_86

I doubt it, Kingdom Hearts was a pretty poor seller first time around but luckily by the time word spread the second sold faily well. I dont think Kingdom Hearts 3 would do anything for the 360 in Japan- Not if Blue Dragon is anything to go by.

Unlikely. IMO it would allienate the fans of the franchise. Who knows?

PS- Hey TC I've read your post ok? Well: its more likely to go to the Wii/PS2 if ever happen not to go PS3.

Er Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 are Greatest Hits. They do sell.

But 360 doesn't sell in Japan, period.

It would sell a few because there are plenty of fans of the game and they'd want to play the next installment.

Cows would be suicidal.:(

:lol:

It isn't a system seller, and I would still laugh at how terrible the series is. I still hate one of my ex-friends for making me watch 3 hours of that drivel.

And before anyone jumps to conclusions, I don't hate it because of Disney characters or anything, it is just a horrible, horrible farce of a Square game.

Kingdom hearts sells systems but not enought to save the 360 in Japan. What really sells systems in Japan is good JRPGs and good consistent Squareenix support. Just having one game cant save a system, Halo didnt save the Xbox in the U.S. and Kingdom Hearts wont save the 360 in Japan. What you need to understand is variety is key, Kingdome hearts dashed with FF, dashed with GT, dashed with other games that sell well in Japan are a winning combo.

Its kind of like how MG2 sold so much better on the PS2 but poorly on the Xbox, its not just the game but you have to to appeal to your TARGET audience as well. If you have a game that appeals to the target audience on a console that doesnt, people wont spend 400 bucks to get it, just like Blue Dragon, had all the right things for Japanese success but on the wrong console.
