This means that KoeiTecmo are almost as profitable as Nintendo this year? ¥11 vs ¥16 billion.

heh, kinda funny really. Koei Tecmo keep on breaking their own profit records and all they're doing is making games the way they've always made them. While other Japanese publishers seem to be obsessed with spending stupid amounts on their games to make them bigger/flashier and more west oriented and then are surprised when they don't make profit. Just shows that proper management and games that your audience want can still make money.

Well, some of them, like From Software, made the right balance - just look at Dark Souls, especially III...that game technically looks average at best and more like 7th gen game, way below western AAA titles, yet it captivated big audience and it's making profit, all the while looking like it's western title.

Are you serious? Dark Souls 3 is one of the best looking multiplats, tons of monsters and boss fights which 90% of western AAA games lack.

Great read

I except this new Gust game to be a new Monster Rancher game it would make sense to revive this series.

Which of their studios made Deception 4 and Fatal Frame 5? I heard they are the same devolopers

Good for them, though I guess that means I won't be buying any KT games in the future since I;m not even a blip on their future "expansion" radar.

Dead serious - Dark Souls 3 looks decent for what it is, but From Software is not really AAA developer - they are more like Japanese Piranha Bytes, great in making unique games in their respective genres (despite all the technical flaws), but with limited amount of money to do so...on topic, that is why they're making profit.

So you think a game like Devision that has an helicopter as endboss has better graphics than Dark Souls with giant enmies with all kinds of sizes? nope not even close lol

Oh dear...what does size of bosses has to do with anything?

At this point I have to ask have you even played DS3? I'm currently playing it on PC, maxed out, and while it's not a bad looking game by any means (quite the opposite), technically  it's not even close to AAA titles...corners had to be cut and that in most cases doesn't really matter (unless when it does and enemies hit you through the walls)...that's the whole point of conversation in the end, them not spending insane amount of money to be on par with AAA devs and then expecting to sell 6 mill copies to be even...that is why they are making profit.

They make good games, and I like that they listen to their fanbase. Definitely one of my favorite companies.
