You may be wondering, why do those PS3/360 numbers look so small? It is because they are.

As much as I wanted to credit Square Enix with publishing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to help their asses out, I only gave them the Japanese sales they deserve credit for. Wii numbers are a major embarrassment. SE got 75% of those sales on the Gamecube last gen with only one game.

Damage Control Man #1 would say, "Well, Japan has had a major handheld focus this gen. Square Enix is no different. Thier DS/PSP sales surely make up for their console decline!"

Wrong.

Compared to last gen, their presence on consoles has dropped 66% in terms of software sales. Lucky for the company, the ENIX side of things pulled much more weight than the Square side. Without Dragon Quest, minus 13 million units (DS). Nothing is cool about that.

If you add up the PSP, DS, PS3, 360 and Wii sales (which are all from this gen), you get more than 45m.

This of course doesn't take into account GBA, GC or original Xbox sales (were there any?), but I can't remember any big sellers released in it (as far as I know, they released mostly

I know things are worst for them this gen, but the numbers aren't all there and DQX will surely help things a bit.

To sum up: Things are bad, but not as bad as you make them out to be.
