| PhantomLink said: 1. pff sorry hahahaha :P 2. They are in bad position in general because almost everything they are releasing is underperforming: TT (in three platforms), Guid01, Girl RPG, Ni no Kuni, Gundam, IE (we'll se this year I guess), the next LB is probably going to underperform too. The only recent success that I can think of is LB on 3DS and maybe IE on Wii, I'm not including Layton becasuse as you said it was a launch game. But what if they keep releasing flops? Will they be stuck with IE and Layton only? Will retailers order less copies because those are declining series? That sure will be great for Level-5, right? 3. Those new IP are far from covering the declines, even with EU numbers. |
I added a few more things to my previous post.
Level 5 currently employs around 200 people. That's like nothing for such a frantic production and results. They lived before Layton and Inazuma, and they'll live after. What flops... Girls RPG - that game was made with change. Guild 01 the same... even Gundam Age was probably more financed by either Toei or Bandai. Ni No Kuni is the only real mega flop here, but if that is the same as doom, Rockstar would be dead after Max Payne.
They have tons of money, great Ips, great talent... stop dooming them without evidence. No single company in bad shape would have this work power as they have. And the 3DS is what they're aiming most their shots , which is probably for a reason.
