I just love this. Hopefully this will mean that we will get more KH games and faster. (Of course only if the game does not suffer for that)

I just can't see a Switch exclusive happening. Any game that can run on Switch can just as well be multiplatform on NS/PS4/XB1 so why not just do that? Even if there was a game that's Switch exclusive, everybody would be counting the days until it inevitably gets ported to Playstation like the handheld games before it.
Actually, I think that now it’s easier for SE to release a new KH game because they have the new assets from KH3 and don’t need to rebuild everything from the scratch. Also, KH3 looks stunning in UE4. I really hope they use this engine the whole next console generation.I just love this. Hopefully this will mean that we will get more KH games and faster.

Ehhh, I really doubt it. KH3 was very unique because of the monumental amount of hype that was created over the last decade, and it’s hard to recreate that kind of hype in an organic manner. KH3 ended on a cliffhanger (one that has upset casual and long-time fans) and while I’m sure because of that people will be eager to find out what happens, it isn’t an eagerness born of hype but of necessity to see the story through. I’m confident in thinking 7m was the ceiling for the series unless it is called the “final game” or something.
Anything following would require a massive shift in SE and Disney’s marketing strategy to make it reach that level again.
I think what she meant is that it stifled many fans' long-running passion for the series, and so they comparatively ended up with less investment in the series future than they had before KH3. As for why, some felt the ending lacked the finality and a strong enough conclusion to justify the several years of waiting they had to do for it (and thus would naturally be hesitant about placing that much investment in the future of the series all over again), and others just vocally don't like the route the story's headed based on the overly abundant amount of set up in KH3 (despite Nomura's claims about things being a "blank state", which they're objectively not). In any case, this is only one reason to think the next KH game won't perform as well. In general, for me, it's just hard to picture the team managing to accumulate as much hype as they did for KH3. I guess by that same token you could say "Well they did it once, they can do it again", but that fundamentally depends on how much faith you place in them. And some have more faith than others.While I do agree that the next Kingdom Hearts game probably won’t sell as well as Kingdom Hearts III, I do think there is a possibility it could come close. The reason I say that is because I do believe the amount of people who express their opinions online for Kingdom Hearts doesn’t necessarily represent the majority of people who bought and played the game. Sure, there are some people complaining online, and some people complaining offline too, but that doesn’t mean the majority of people hated the ending so much that they won’t support any future Kingdom Hearts games. I do think the numbers of units sold will drop again, which is very normal for a franchise and doesn’t mean it’s the end of the franchise either, but I do think the next Kingdom Hearts game, whether that be Kingdom Hearts IV or a non-numbered title, can still sell very well and be very successful.

Man, you are annoying. That’s not even a fair comparison. Do you even post good content anymore?Don't be ridiculous. Disney wasn't in KH1 or Kh2's secret ending, either.
Point taken.The next game isn’t KH4, though.

Oh shoot that's right. They gotta shoehorn Mickey somehow in the next game as well if he is to appear on the Box art. Only problem is Riku seemed to be by himself in Shinjuku. Guess it could be a quick cameo like 358 2 DaysSeems perfectly fair to me? 'Another Side, Another Story' and 'The Gathering' didn't have a hint of Disney either. 'Yozora' keeping in line with that trend in no way confirms that the next title won't include it.
Maybe the ReMIND DLC will add an extended secret ending with the obligatory Mickey cameo.
I’m not saying it will underperform at all or that it will be the end of the franchise. I haven’t implied that at all, only that it won’t reach KH3’s numbers because it was such a unique situation that is near impossible to replicate without either a huge shift in direction for KH that is appealing to the mass audience, a shift in marketing that is known to be effective and appealing to audiences, or a new approach to expanding the series through other forms of media like TV and film. You just can’t replicate 13 years of hype and anticipation and 8 games of storytelling.
I didn’t even say that a majority disliked the ending, only that it is something that has affected both casual and core fan investment in the series. I think it is safer to say that the game is divisive and for as many people who liked it, there are likely as many people who hated it. The sales in the next numbered will reflect this.

I'm confused here. I'm pretty sure Recon intended what he said as a joke. It's the only way I can read it as.I save good content for people with good points.
