Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance may actually be Kingdom Hearts 3. Without even reading this whole topic most of you will say no. Well if you're not going to read what I have to say you might as well not vote.

 

According to Tetsuya Nomura, in an interview he stated that Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance will be on par with a numbered tilte. Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep is considered Kingdom Hearts Episode 0. Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 are also considered, well, Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2. If Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is a numbered title just like Kingdom Hearts BBS it must be an important game. Not only that but, it may be Kingdom Hearts 3.

 

If you just think about it for a second you might agree with me. At least consider this idea because the chances of KH3D being KH3 are not 0. All this means is the Kingdom Hearts 3 we all want and have been waiting so long for could be Kingdom Hearts 4.

 

Dream Drop Distance looks like a fairly good game with everything needed to be Kingdom Hearts 3. To most people, it exceeds Kingdom Hearts 2's awesomness level (so did BBS).

 

Anyway guys, I'm just spitballing here. KH3D may be KH3 or it may not be KH3. Who knows?

 

In a literal sense, Kingdom Hearts 3D is Kingdom Hearts 3 because it takes place after Kingdom Hearts 2. Case closed. And I'm pretty sure few of you read the whole topic.

But the difference is "handheld console" and "home console".

 

Which has nothing to do with anything. Square will put their popular games wherever they think they'll turn the most profit. If they think they can make the most money putting it on the Sega Genesis, they will.

That's ridiculous. If that was the case 3D would've been released on PS3.

What? Why? The PS3 doesn't sell very well, and requires a huge capital investment. Fancy new HD models for EVERYTHING. Everything would have to be higher resolution. The engine would have to be written from scratch since the PS3 uses such different technology.

The 3DS, however, lets Square reuse their old PS2 models, and simultaneously access the huge DS demographic (Square had no way of knowing the 3DS would sell less than the original DS)

Basically, Square moved to the 3DS because they thought it would sell better than a PSP (What with its rampant piracy) while still reusing models.

No, the ps3 doesn't sell very well at all (HAHAHAHAHA). The point is that it doesn't matter how much work they put into it, the ps3 would make the most money.

Huh...

Well, according to these:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS_sales

In 3 years the DS sold as many units as the PS3 has sold to date

Now, with a two years head start on the PS3 mind you, the DS has sold nearly three times as many units as the PS3.

 

Now here's some important stuff,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_fantasy_xiii

FF XIII sold a million copies in one day in Japan. The game was the fastest selling game in the series. However, consider that it is the ONLY FF game on the PS3. The HD development time is much higher, with huge amounts of resources being needed. The game was in development for five years. Now consider the remakes of FFIV and FFIII for the DS. Both games reused scripts from previous games, featured easy to create low polygon character models, and only remixed music. The voice cast was limited, and development only took a year. Both games sold over a million units (I should note that FFXIII has had 5.5 million copies shipped worldwide, SHIPPED, not sold) based on this, a years worth of work on a much lower budget game for the DS has roughly the same payout as a 4 years mega-project like XIII.

There are a LOT of FF games on the DS. Tactics games, spinoffs, remakes. It all adds up, and costs Square much less to create. And the massive amount of people who HAVE a DS is what makes this true. Like I said, nearly 3 times as many people have a DS as opposed to a PS3.

Now why am I talking about the DS, not the 3DS? Because Square had no reason not to think the 3DS wouldn't be just as popular as the DS. They were expecting to be able to invest little money, reusing as much as possible, and get a huge payout.

Here's another thing you should know. 358/2 Days and Birth By Sleep have nearly identical sales

http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/browse.php?name=kingdom+hearts+358%2F2+days

http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales/7402/kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep/

Tack on another half million for Re:Coded

http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales/45509/kingdom-hearts-recoded/

And suddenly the DS has given Square Enix more sales than Birth By Sleep, which cost much more to make, required a lot more voice acting, made use of CGI, and took four years to develop, while Re:Coded and Days took a year each.

 

So seriously, is it really that hard to see How Square stands to make more of a profit by putting less money into something, and getting just as many sales?

Yeesh.

Mog is right. If KH3 comes out for PS3, it will sell, especially if the PS4(backward compatibility) is or going to be out.

True dat

It's not that it won't sell, it's that Square won't profit very much if they don't put it on the right console. What is it people are having so much trouble grasping? All anybody says is 'It sells' and tries to snidely imply that I don't know what I'm talking about, or that they know something I don't. The PS3 has the weakest sales of this console generation. It's kind of turned around since then, but it's still very weak. Sony made a tonne of mistakes with its initial release, while Nintendo basically copied what worked fro Sony with the PS2.

PS3 games cost a tonne to make. Developers need to make money off their investment. That reminds me. Why do you think Square is making so many non-KH3 games? To screw over the fans? It's to draw in as many fans, and create as much hype for KH3 as possible. They NEED the game to sell because it's going to cost an absolute fortune to make, if they want to meet fan expectations anyways. That's why the games go to so many different consoles, by the way, not to 'force' fans to buy new consoles, but to get to as big of an audience as possible.

Now, if KH3 uses tech that can only be used on the PS3 (Like Versus XIII) then it'll go there, but now the Wii U is more powerful than the PS3, so that possibility is gone. Listen, I'm not even saying that it WON'T be on the PS3, but if it were to be released tomorrow, it would not make sense to release it on the PS3.

If you guys disagree with me, make a legitimate argument. I'm not being presented with any evidence, indeed, I'm not being presented with anything but

Notw ho NONE of you made any effort to explain your opinion, instead presenting it as fact.

 

One last thing. 3D is on the 3DS because 3D will make use of its features. Maybe it needs a touchscreen, or AR cards, or glassesless 3D, or spot pass, or street pass. Games aren't put on consoles on a whim, and it certainly would not make sense to put 3D on the PS3. The logic that it would make Square more money doesn't even hold up, especially when you consider that square had reason to believe that the 3DS would do as well as the DS.

I really wouldn't care so much if you guys at least attempted to make a defense. It really bugs me when people don't. A One of my quirks I suppose.

Hmmm, you even admit it. Not what I expected.

 

Anyway, people don't feel like making extremley long posts like you just to proove a point.

Lol Nintendo never copied Sony. True it would be sort of dumb to put 3D on PS3, but they most likely thought about it. Also you are right about the features thing. It gives Square more interesting features to work with, but graphics is probably what bothered them.

I didn't mean copy quite that literally. I'm basically saying that Nintendo basically did what Sony did with the PS2, having a low cost, low power system with lots of support, and it worked. That said, Nintendo did copy Sony's dual analog stick.

It's not a big deal, companies copy eachother like crazy.

It doesn't need to be long. Like I said, any effort. But there's no effort here. Your short, lol-encrusted posts have next to no value, simply iterating an opinion as fact without so much as a hint as to WHY

If I wanted to proove my facts were right then I would be doing that right now. I'm not intrested in arguing with someone like you that thinks they know everything (KH-Related).

That's the point I'm trying to make. As far as I'm concerned, I'm right. You say I'm wrong, but won't say why. If you could actually say something, anything, to the contrary, I would be willing to hear it, and if you could prove otherwise I would concede. But you won't even try. I'm not going to try and pretend I know everything about anything. I doubt even Tetsuya Nomura knows EVERYTHING about KH. The point is, I'm presenting my information, and am being told I'm wrong in spite of it, yet nothing has been done to back up this.

You want my personal guess? You have no evidence to back up what your saying, s you're trying to use this elusive mannerism to shrug that off without backing down on your own opinion. I honestly can't fathom why, because only a minute ago you were accusing ME of wanting to always be right. It's a matter of right until proven wrong in this case, and I see no proof.

Im pretty sure Nintendo decided to do two anolog sticks without taking into concideration Sony. Nintendo didnt copy any of those ideas it was just ideal to do it.

@Razorwind

 

I hope the recent news has confirmed your thoughts about KH3D not being KH3, even though it was way way before.

they wouldn't put kh3 on a handheld when kh1 & kh2 have been on ps2, they'd be more likely to put it on the more powerful consoles like ps3 or xbox360 (more likely to on ps3 though)
