| Ka-pi96 said: heh, kinda funny really. Koei Tecmo keep on breaking their own profit records and all they're doing is making games the way they've always made them. While other Japanese publishers seem to be obsessed with spending stupid amounts on their games to make them bigger/flashier and more west oriented and then are surprised when they don't make profit. Just shows that proper management and games that your audience want can still make money. |
Tell me about it. Koei have learnt a lot from the last generation when they tried to do the same after the wild overseas success they had during the PS2 era. Now they are focusing on all the right aspects and know how to position each and every one of their games.
| HylianYoshi said: That's awesome. Koei Tecmo makes some pretty good games. I'm sure that their strong relationship with Nintendo will make them a valuable asset in terms of NX's third party support. |
I agree. Koei Tecmo noted during their briefing that they expect conditions in the dedicated games industry to become more favourable in the future and mentioned NX as one of the reasons.
| baloofarsan said: North America + Europe are not very important for Koei Tecmo. Japan + Asia is 85% of all revenue and increasing! |
Yes, Japan and Asia do account for a lot and that's reflected in the games that they develop as well. A lot of their online & Mobile + console games are directly targeted towards Japan and Asia so more sales do come from there.
That being said, Koei are obviously keen to target overseas markets with their collaboration titles such as Hyrule Warriors and Attack on Titan and with their new IP Nioh which is aiming to launch simulatenously in all markets.
