Oh FY 2010 will be a biggie for SE: DQIX, SO4 and FFXIII (Japan).
FY 2011 FFXIII (rest of the world) + Versus (Japan)
FY 2012 DQX and Versus (Rest of the world)

Seems like SE's hard days are over. Kingdom Hearts 3: sorry.

I'm just wondering how they'll look before that point, given that they're still developing all the Fabula Nova Crystalis projects at the same time, and that they usually can release three proper Final Fantasy games in a generation instead of just one.

I still get the feeling they're going to lose a lot of potential money this generation because they went with the mantra of "bigger, better, stronger".

Let's say that Christmas 2012 the next gen starts, which is 7 years after the 360, so reasonable (might even be a year late).

Talking main console series alone:

Last gen: 3 x FF, 2 x KH, 1 x DQ

FFXIII will release 2010, FFVSXIII 2011 (leaves some room for a 3rd, but not very likely)
DQIX will release 2009, DQX 2011
KH earliest 2011

This will probably be how it looks in the end. 2 FF's (-1), 2 DQ's (+1), 1 KH (-1)

But the DS and PSP probably make a lot of money for SE. FFIII & IV, DQ IV, V & VI and the crapload of other stuff will probably make more money than the GBA remakes. Crisis Core and Dissidia did very well, as will FFXIII Agito.

So overall I think SE is doing fine.
