Is NIS making more money in the retail HD market though? Disgaea 3 cost a lot more to develop than their DS games and it had similarly poor sales (0.11m in Americas, 0.11m in Japan). I can't imagine that 220,000 sales is enough to cover a HD-level budget. If NIS wants to consider making low-budget games for PSN/XBLA, that's one thing. Those games are much cheaper to make than $60 retail releases. If NIS can't make much money on the DS and considering the expense of developing for either of the HD twins, you have to wonder about their financial prospects in the gaming industry (as well as the financial prospects for other small Japanese publishers). NIS is a privately-held corporation though so we don't know what's going on with them financially.
