Square Enix seems to be really struggling...only a matter of time until they go full mobile you'd have to say.

Also Sonic Lost World not done too badly; would like to see the breakdown between Wii U and 3DS though.

I'd say this result is kinda the opposite, honestly.  They've been struggling for a while and yet this statement shows better-than-expected results, due to one F2P mobile game; one MMO & two traditional retail titles (albeit both remakes).

I think we'll see Square Enix return more to traditional stuff over time, but still with a heavy focus on mobile.

Capcom, on the other hand, don't seem to be learning anything.

Yeah Capcom seem to be going through the motions. I don't think anything will improve for them now...

I don't see SE returning to consoles though; they may be doing better than expected but it's still not a good place they're in right now. And they're in this position down to their mobile ventures and MMO's, so I see them continuing down that route from here (which is a shame IMO)
