Nomura-sensei-tensai has proved to all you naysayers that slow and steady wins the race.

Square Enix should've given him another ten years on XIII Versus, he'd have definitely delivered the goods in time.

Not sure if you're pushing an agenda or something but the split in the end will be closer apparently since it was stated a while ago that digital purchases are higher on Xbox compared to PS4. So even if the overall sales ration is 75% to 25%, those are still big numbers for the Xbox and definitely something that would secure future ports.

I wonder if this game can manage 10 million lifetime. XV seems to be en-route and will probably get there eventually. I feel like FF7 Remake is almost assured to get there because it has the hype factor, and there are going to be a bunch of new players interested after XV. (Caveat here as always that a critical disaster would obviously stop such a thing.) So if KH3 can manage 10 million, you'd be looking at all 3 major AAA titles released by Square Enix's Japanese arm hitting that milestone. That'd be real impressive.

I guess we'll have to wait for more numbers.

I suppose that is possible but given the type of game we're talking about here I don't know if I would automatically assume that.

10 million? If there's a PC and NSW port + a remix edition sure. After 3-4 years i'd say.

Are we talking about the KH collection? I believed it was at E3 where it was brought up whether or not it would come to Xbox and Square said Microsoft hadn't asked for it yet. Up until that point I assumed it was Sony exclusive for some weird reason. Now, I think it's only a matter of time until it shows up.

I want everyone to play Kingdom Hearts III, as many as possible. But a lot of people were hoping that if it would sell well enough, the rest would come to Xbox. But with that split, doesn't look like it

Nice to hear, a bit saddened by the ratio spilt but who cares? Experiencing a piece of the KH franchise was pretty awesome.

So a 90/10 Split Worldwide more than likely when you think about this is the second strongest Xbox Market and even there they get this outcome.

Sony really doesn't need to moneyhat exclusivity anymore because its shown countless times these games will always be technically exclusive anyway

82/18? Gotta be closer to 50/50 when you include the xbox digital attachment + windows 10/minecraft maus right?

Well play Square, who knew KH3 was gonna be a mega hit.

82% on PS4 ! That's seems a lot ! I thought the Xbox Installed base was pretty good in UK. Are Xbox owners uninterested in the game ?

The only thing I've seen is Ubisoft's numbers which say they get more money out of each purchase from Xbox users. That doesn't mean the actual users are higher, it just means they monetize each user better. If you have other information I'd appreciate it, but I don't really understand the logic you've stated here.

Also even if we did accept this to be true in general, it doesn't mean it applies to this specific game anyway.

It means 18% of physical sales in the UK. It doesn't mean anything else.

I'm not sure how you've concluded this but I certainly disagree. This game uses UE4 after all.

Xbox has around 45% of the install base of PS4 globally. If it does end up with that kind of split far below the 31% then it suggests KH3 has done little to expand its audience beyond its existing fanbase.

no digital included, so xbox likely closer to 30%. should be a good incentive to port the collection.

Stop this nonsense. It is the US where Zhuge said XBO has a higher digital share on average, we don't know if the same is true for other regions, nor do we know how big the difference is, nor do we know if it applies to this specific game.

Great that the game performs this good in UK/US (and elsewhere too most probably).

Sadly, this thread has gone off the rails with all that digital %, « technically exclusive » and « barely worth a port » nonsense. A shame.

People should stop with this, UE4 games are way easier, faster and cheaper to port. Once you have the PS4 version you dont need to rewrite the whole game from scratch to make the Xbox One version, mostly thanks to same CPU architecture and the flexibility of the engine.

Making UE4 versions is really cheap compared to the previous generation, when both ps3 and x360 had different architecture.
