To be honest people complaining about the console hopping is just dumb. Like I said 3 consoles in 9 years isn't asking much.

You Keep saying 3 consoles in 9 years you have to go by the time these games came out no one knew themselves that RE:COM would make to the PS2.
KH1: PS2, COM: GBA, PS2: KH2, DS: 358/2 Days, PSP: BBS, DS: Re:coded
That's 5 consoles over 9 years and now with 3D coming out soon probably next year it will be 6 consoles over 10 years. By the time KHIII even get's here it will most like be 8 consoles over 13 years. That too me is ridiculous these games aren't even spinoffs except 358/2 days and even then it's barely a spinoff.
The series has been around for almost a decade with only two numbered titles released. The time gap between KH2 and the next major installment to hit the home console is still ongoing with no end in sight. Of course fans are going to be discouraged and disillusioned, especially when you factor in the fact that 3 out of the 4 recently released KH titles that were meant to tie fans over for the long haul were mediocre at best. It's hard to be a KH fan these days, especially when other companies (new and old) are developing stellar sequels to blockbuster titles in like what seems to be no time at all when compared to the KH team.
Even with all things considered (Versus 13's development, more KH titles on the way), fans don't want to be left wondering for 6 years when they're going to release 3rd major installment. And the game isn't even on the way, so we could easily be creeping up 10 (might be a stretch) years between KH2 and KH3... You honestly can't say that's reasonable by any means. Versus 13 and the KH franchise should have been weighted accordingly because apparently, the ball dropped on that note... Now if Versus 13's the finest game all gen then I would happily eat my words... So yeah, Nomura and the KH team have a lot to prove..
My love for KH was dropped much. The only reason I continue to play the series is because A) I hate not finishing the end of a story myself, and B) I wind up getting the consoles for other reasons anyways, and B) the gameplay is always good.
Alright, people really need to shut up about this console spread. Albeit slightly annoying, I doubt it's affected many a people's wallets. PS2 came out a decade ago. Your parents are probably the ones who got you a PS2 if you got one, because, considering the age group here, you probably were in Elementary or starting Middle School when you go one. This console also had arguably the best library of games on any console, ever. If you didn't like PS2, you're an idiot.
The DS was been out for more than a half decade, and is one of the best handhelds ever, in terms of software available. It was a great investment if you had a good taste in games, and from the hundreds, hell, even thousands if you had the time, of hours you could of spent on it having fun, I can fairly guarantee you shouldn't be angry about getting one.
GBA was just as awesome as the DS, during it's time. Also, the DSlite played GBA games, so, all you had to do was sell your GBA and get a DS. Greatness was greatness is still greatness.
The only shitty console KH was on was PSP. PSP was still worth getting though, if you got it used. We had 4 years knowing that BBS was going to be on PSP, anyways, so, if you saved the money yourself, I doubt it really left a scar on your wallet. Spending 100ish dollars from the money you had over 4 years is relatively cheap. And, there were still some good games on PSP. In fact, the end of last year and this year, the PSP has been getting some great titles.
As for 3DS, if your main incentive to get one is KH, you sir, are an idiot. We've already seen a promising library, and the console has only been announced for a year. Most consoles don't get a good library for a 2 or 3 years. The DS was a gem, and so will be the 3DS. I'd say it's worth the $250 it costs.
I extremely doubt that PSV will get a KH game during this Saga, unless it is the 10th Anniversary deal. But, if it's the 10th Anniversary project, which is supposed to be on a popular system so people can play the game and catch up on the series, I doubt it'll be on PSV, where only the buyers of PSV will get it. While the PSV is promising, its not going to sell a whole lot at release, and most likely sell about as well as the 3DS did.
So, unless Nomura adds another game to the saga, instead of 3D, 10th Anniversary/BBSv2, and KH3, KH wont be on PSV for a while.
KH3 starts development next year, so, we can all be happy now.
