Perhaps, I don't know about that. It doesn't change the fact that they're not going bankrupt any time soon though And they have profited from all FF entries bar XIV anyway, plus DQ, KH, etc., so they're not losing money on their Japanese side either overall, far from it.
Not defending their games, but they're financially very healthy. |
They are financially strong right now, however that doesn't mean they aren't losing their base. They've just been able to cover up the drop in support from the Japanese developed games with the properties they purchased with Eidos (Deus Ex, Hitman, Tomb Raider).
I use to be one of the biggest fans of Square-Enix. I saw them as the greatest company. That changed this generation and it doesn't appear to be getting better anytime soon. Looking at their reports I see the numbers drying up. Unfortunately for them, none of the properties will be able to completely make up for a void the Final Fantasy will make and that is where they are right now.
Dragon Quest seems to also be on the downturn. Looking at the excitement for DQX (being on the Wii and Wii U).
I wish I was running the company.
