 But most of the profit gained by Konami came from Hudson anyway, since theyre sharing profits with each other. Deca Sports was huge example of it, thats why even Konami brings shovelware Konami still profiting on the Wii because of Hudson. But Power pro baseball and Pro Evolution soccer I give you that, but those 2 games alone isnt enough to have huge profits on the Wii thats why Namco, SEGA, and Marvelous still pumping games on the Wii its just that Hudson backing them up... And yeah, Elebits and Dewy bombed in Japan.

I think someday Hudson will be the next Konami and make games that they can published without outside help  but I think we will never seen it till 2010

In terms of profits, you're probably right. Still, their sales are alright, considering how few games they've put out there, and like I said in the last post I'm not too fussed about Konami one way or the other. As for Hudson, I hope you're right, and that they've rediscovered their groove, but time will tell.

 

 

 Well so far Marvelous actually hire a publisher XSEED to publish their game on the west without the need of help by Ubi, I think Hudson can do the same I HOPE I have high hopes for this one...

As for the sales, I think are we too worried at this? For one thing, we're comparing how good or bad the sales of the game were on a licensed anime game. Even how good or bad the game was its still a licensed game, its like we're comparing 3rd party games and how good the sales were by looking the sales of Spongebob, the Avatar, Iron Man or Wall-E games. I think Im too early to pass judgement on this one, its not even a main game its more like a videogame commercial of the upcoming anime movie.

After seeing the sales of Tales of Symphonia 2 again I feel I change the direction of my opinion... 



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
