If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

This is kind of how I expected, with the exception of N-B being so high

Isn't Pokemon from Nintendo, therefore they should be togheter?

Keep in mind that Namco Bandai likely had more releases in this period than Nintendo, Square Enix, Capcom, Pokemon and Level-5 combined.  They get so high through volume alone, but the average NBGI game sells less even than the average Atlus game...



What is that so-so company Scamco-Bandai doing on there?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
