Friday 13 october 2006 To celebrate the UK launch of Kingdom Hearts II, we've teamed up with Square Enix and Piggyback Interactive to offer five lucky winners a copy of the PS2 game and the official strategy guide each. Kingdom Hearts II is the sequel to Square Enix and Disney's beautiful (and massive) RPG collaboration, which combines characters from the Final Fantasy series of games with characters and locations from many of Disney's famous movies.

US hardware sales in May: PS2 on the rise, 360 takes a dip

PS2 News from N4G | Kingdom Hearts II

PS2 - Kingdom Hearts II - US hardware sales in May: PS2 on the rise, 360 takes a dip

The hardware sales for US consoles has been released, here's how it broke down, in terms of total unit sales and difference (in percentage) from April:
1. PlayStation 2: 232,000 ( 12.1%)
2. Sony PSP: 159,659 ( 17.1%)
3. Nintendo DS: 145,930 ( 5.4%)
4. Xbox 360: 221,000 ( 25%)
5. GameCube: 33,000 ( 13.2%)
6. Xbox One: 26,000 ( 33.3%)

The sales data for the PSP and DS have yet to be released. With the summer drought upon us, expect hardware sales to either decline or remain stagnant as we move closer to the holiday season. We were a bit surprised by the PlayStation 2's increase in sales, which we can only attribute to the release of the mega-selling Kingdom Hearts II or the announced PlayStation 3 price deterring future customers.

Return of the Kingdom

PS2 News | Kingdom Hearts II

Tetsuya Nomura, director of Kingdom Hearts II, revealed at the game's launch party that a further Kingdom Hearts is in the pipeline. KHII has only just reached American shores, but the game has performed so well in Japan on PS2 that mentions of a follow-up aren't so much wishful thinking as obligation. Even so, Nomura wouldn't say much except that he has "a new idea" for the series. The next game in the franchise likely won't be a direct sequel, but - judging by Nomura's vague comments - one ...
