Due to the PS3 price drop and the Wii’s lack of supply. Nintendo claims to be putting out and selling through 1.8 million consoles a month world wide.

The difference is, while one is sold out the other is still in healthy stock, this making the sales go higher. Reminds me of when the 60GB’s price was cut, same effect, 1-2 weeks of high sales and THEN it was back to normal.

Lets just hope, for Sony’s sake, that this good is staying.

The difference was pricedrops, 40gb, and DW6. Mostly DW6 though which sold the majority of those 40gb’s.

Yea based on Chinese history. Remember the last time a PS3 game was supposed to be based on some kinda history. Giant enemey crabs. Attack them in their weakspot for massive damage haha.

Same with FF13 and KH3

They will shift millions if they make a FF7 remake though...

Kingdom Hearts 3 hasn’t been announced for PS3. And really most rumors state that it’ll go to the Wii not PS3.

KH3 has been denied, actually.

The game everyone thought was going to be KH3 is on the PSP.

Nomura already stated there wouldn’t be a KH3.

Im pritty sure Square is still in Sonys pocket.

I think it will come out for both the PS3 version for the traditional rpg fans and the wii one for the casual gamer who wants to just chop up some bad guys with the wiimote.

Yea but this game isn’t only made by Square. The key word in this equation is Disney and Disney wants the game on Wii not PS3.
