"XBOX360 Strategy 2011" Interview with the game makers
Alchemist
-A big title will be released around summer. Currently it remains a 360 exclusive
-It is not an ADV. The ADV market is primarily on the PSP now but because PSP sales are poor overseas, they have to look at things using a more global approach
-They want to expand overseas, but in order to be able to sell overseas, they have to prove they can sell several tens of thousands units before they'd be seen as a viable company
-They've changed their former way of thinking: they've come to realize that it is important for them to choose the platform that fits their needs when releasing games
Microsoft
-The new slim 360 could very well still be in the limelight, but it seems Kinect has been completely blown off
-There will be more titles coming besides Gears of War 3
Bandai Namco
-The domestic sales of Kinect Brain Training were more horrible than expected
-2011's focus will be on multiple strong multiplatform titles
Bethesda
-Sales of Fallout 3:NV, were good, but they noticed that the 360 version sold significantly less
-The DLC for New Vegas will be released soon
-The release date for Skyrim overseas is 11/11 but the Japanese version will also come not long after
Capcom
-There will be at least 4 titles released this year
-COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION is the motto of the day
Cave
-There will be 3 titles shown at February's event
-2 XBLA titles: one original title, and one port
-The domestic 360 market is very weak. While titles are still selling, total sales have fallen across the board. Therefore, they have to think really hard about what they're going to do from now on.
-The other day a buyer said "The 360 never sells beyond the pre-order copies, won't you develop for a different console?"
-But if there's something they want to do, then they'll struggle if needed to do it
-Kinect hasn't really been a hot topic of discussion among the people at all, especially now that it's post-launch. No one's talking about it.
-They are worried about MS' new all-Kinect-focused stance
-Right now circumstances make it really difficult to release low-priced games on the 360.
Codemasters
-It's been a tough year, but both F1 and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising did favorably
-But the 360 version sales have been declining and they have been forced to lower their sales estimates.
-There's definitely a large gap between the 360 version and the PS3 version in terms of sales
-There will be 1~2 titles released this year
D3Publisher
-5 titles will be released this year, two of which being Dream Club and Earth Defense Force.
-1 of them will be a Dream Club-related game. It will not be Dream Club 2
5pb
-There will be 2~3 PC ADVs ports released this year
-There will be some original titles too
-They admit the 360 is their main console of choice
KOEI
-Sales have completely shifted to the PS3. In some cases, PS3 games are outselling the 360 version by a 10:1 ratio
-They are considering releasing Kinect titles
-Several titles planned for 2011
-Titles planned for game fans in general, and not restricted to only 360 users
-In the beginning they wanted to try selling 2,800 yen titles and then make profits off of DLC, but MS needs to set up an infrastructure for selling budget-priced games
Sega
-They want to do several titles like Project DIVA
-They've realized that each console has its own advantages
-It is easy to enrich social-type gaming with the services the 360 has to offer
-This year will release roughly about the same number of titles as last year
Spike
-Sacred 2 sold well, but Metro2033 did not meet expectations
-They have 1 new localization title to be announced
-While Kinect seems to be doing well worldwide, the sales in Japan are not as strong, so they do not want to get involved with it
-They're declaring the revival of western gaming
UBIsoft
-There will be 10 titles released in 2011 of which 3 will be Kinect titles
-A numbered Assassin's Creed is in development but it won't make this year
Russel
-Because it's the 360, they have to be careful about the games they pick
-3~4 titles scheduled for 2011
Hudson
-On the whole 2010 wasn't bad, but the 360 still isn't doing so well domestically
-Deca Sports sold 300K, a sequel is planned
