Forums - Gaming - Square-Enix Posts Record Profit; Smartphone Revenue Overtakes HD Gaming Revenue

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1217949

They reported $631 million in revenue from smartphone/tablet games versus $531 million for HD games. Keep in mind since smartphone games likely cost a fraction of traditional game development this likely means a bulk of their profit comes from smartphone titles.

Damn

 



What category does 3DS belong to? Its not a smart device but its not an HD device either.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I think they basically lump 3DS games into "HD gaming" (really what they mean are traditional gaming devices).

You can see from this slide, 3DS and Vita games like Dragon Quest VIII, Dragon Quest Monsters 3, and Dragon Quest Builders are included alongside console HD titles.

RIP consoles

I Wonder how much they expect to get from Final Fantasy 15, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake.



If Square-Enix can make almost $700 million in revenue from smartphone apps, I have to think if/when Nintendo deploys their full franchise might (Animal Crossing, Super Mario, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Zelda) on smartphones that they should surely be able to hit $1 billion in smartphone revenues yearly.



What is crazy is that their Smart Phone's revenue of this year is nearly bigger than the entire revenue they had in 2012.



Most of these mobile revenue is made in asia, so consoles in the west are still king. And you can see HD revnue increased segnifcantley as well. Games like Dragonquest heroes, builders etc. dont need much money to make them either.
I dont get why people over dramatize
