Making these games for the handhelds (handhelds not many people have according to the NPD reports *cough* PSP *cough*)
Kingdom Hearts is a game series made by a Japanese game developer. Made foremost for the Japanese public, then ported to America. Square's loyalty and fandom lies mostly in the Japanese public.
And guess where the PSP sells like hotcakes?*Cough*JAPAN*Cough*
It may not sell as well elsewhere, but it by no means does bad.

Nice final line, makes you sound defensive. Anyways, not like I really care but last I checked they're releasing this game in the United States, where OMG, PSP's are the equivalent of poop on a stick -the stick to most people. I will relent on the fact that this company's loyalty lies with the Japanese public but that point becomes moot when they release the game in the west AND expect loads of sales.
Also to expand on my last post; They could have ported the game to say the PS3 for example like what they did for Chain of Memories on the PS2 later on in that game's release. Now the fact that they are releasing this game on the PSP before that happens (if it even happens at all) means that they're shooting themselves in the foot in terms of raw sales. By the time this happens, the game will seem like old news and less people will purchase it. That doesn't even take into account the avoidance of spoilers, but that's a story for another day.
