The fact that Kingdom Hearts 2.9 is for the PS3 and PS4 only is curious, considering that KHIII is coming to the XBO. There is speculation that it's a collection of 1.5 and 2.5, though Nomura did say that he has no plans to bring the HD Remixes to the PS4. KH2.9 could just be an HD remaster of Dream Drop Distance, which would be a bit of a letdown :-\

2.9 makes it sound like a prequel Ground Zeroes style!

It is asymptotic to 3, and as such will never reach it.

PS3 is a weird choice.

Whatever I guess - I'll double/triple dip on the series for PS4 :P!

I really, really hope that 2.9 is a collection of 1.5, 2.5 and 3D. The loading times are frustrating on the PS3, most notably when you're going into a drive mode or D-linking.

I assume that the PS3 version will be Japan-only since that's the only country where there is still a noticeable amount of gamers who use their PS3's.
