Marvelous execs take pay cuts instead of layoffs of the lower orders

[Avarice28]

Nice find and proves why they should be concentrating on the PSP and not the wii.

time to change strategies and make games for XBLA and PSN as well marvelous, stop bleeding money on the wii, exclusivity is not the way to go.

They shifted away from Wii like half a year ago.  If they're doing badly now, it's due to low revenues from more recent DS & PSP projects (Luminous Arc 3, Rune Factory 3, Sakura Note, Hitman Reborn, Postpet, etc).

 

edit: And PSN/XBLA would be a sure route to failure, they'd just be trading one set of huge problems (distribution/inventory/retail concerns) for another (userbase/awareness/pricepoint concerns).  Digital isn't the way out for Japanese companies making games for a mainly Japanese audience.

This says otherwise.
