Purist 134 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Quote Square Enix's long-in-development Kingdom Hearts III has topped the UK charts in its first week. It's the first time the franchise has topped the charts and it's the most successful UK launch on record for the series, at least since the original game proved such a major hit on PlayStation 2 (UKIE/GfK data currently doesn't stretch that far back). Its sales are more than double that of its direct predecessor, which was released 14 years ago on PlayStation 2. And it's certainly more popular than the subsequent spin-offs and 'remix' versions. Digital downloads are not included in these figures. Digital downloading didn't exist on consoles for the previous mainline titles in the series, so we should expect that Kingdom Hearts III performed even stronger than what is suggested here. Because of its PlayStation heritage, it's unsurprisingly to discover that 82 per cent of the game's sales came on PS4, with Xbox One accounting for the remainder. More than double KH2’s launch and that’s without counting digital. PS4/Xbox1 split is 82/18, is this the highest PS4 split for a multiplat game? https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-02-03-kingdom-hearts-iii-conquers-uk-charts-with-impressive-debut-week Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lower the resolution, reduce the enemies on screen, do whatever it takes to get it running on the Switch. I’m sure there are enough people who do not mind these as long they can play it on their Switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they'll wait and see how DQ11 does first on Switch. It should do pretty well, so I wouldn't be surprised to see KH3 on Switch in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
