good news. glad somebody's making profit.

after THQ and Sonys losses i wasn't to sure anyone pub. would report profits


Pretty much every major Japanese publisher made profit (Konami, Namco Bandai, Capcom, Square Enix). On western side I remember that Activision made profit. EA, THQ and Ubisoft made all loss. I really wonder if  ''Japanese game industry'' is dying side ever looks at financial reports. Japanese publishers are a lot more profitable (Yes they ship a lot less games but actually make money out of them).

that may be the most interesting thing of all. i don't think the Japanese gaming market is dyeing it seems to be a misconception.

This. It totally makes sense. I mean, the prime console for jrpgs is the 360, right?

I mean, they don't know what they're missing.

no thats WRPG's for 360.

The point still stands. I s'ppose MC2 is technically a KRPG. TLR and IU and definitely jrpg-like though.

My gut also tells me that they're all JRPGS because of their unbearableness. Did you ever play TLR? :O

Metacritic... really? Then, allow me to return the favor. Please, do make way for my sarcasm.

Never pretended that PS3 was a jrpg holy ground either.

Think about it: if they didn't hate the 360 so much, you'd be able to play those fabulous NIS titles on your console!

I'm sure it takes a lot less than that to make people grind their teeth in frustration.

sarcasm is one of my favourite RPGs this gen. O:

but in all seriousness, every single one of the games listed would have made some bucks more if they were multiplatform. (IU, TLR..) while Cross Edge and Neptunia just were crap, every other game listed by you two surely had some audience in whatever shape or size  on the consoles they werent released for. even if the difference would have been a thousand copies only.

 

@topic: glad theyre doing good.

No way. NNN2 and MC2 would have flopped just as hard on other consoles (just like any NIS game minus Disgaea would have flopped on the 360).

They surely lost at least one sale from keeping it Sony exclusive.

Gee, I guess porting games happens magically now -- AND it's FREE. Would you believe?

Seriously, what gives? If you can't break even, it's not even worth thinking about porting a game.
