 Bomberman creator Hudson Soft is forecasting a fourfold increase in profits within three years, driven by Nintendo Wii software, according to a new report.  By the end of March 2011, Tokyo-based Hudson Soft expects operating profit of 10 billion yen ($97 million), incoming president Michihiro Ishizuka told Bloomberg in a recent interview.

Hudson's focus on Wii is already clear. In 2008, the game maker expects to release eight games for the Wii, and currently has released games including Fishing Master and Wing Island for the console. Hudson also plans to release the recently-announced Deca Sports this year.    

"The game-software industry is one of the sectors that will lead corporate earnings this fiscal year,'' said Yoshihiro Okumura with Tokyo's Chiba-gin Asset Management. "In particular, companies related to Nintendo have a lot of room for profit growth.''

Aside from packaged goods, Hudson has also released several games for download on Wii, and has games in development for Nintendo's WiiWare original games service.

"Two years from now will be the time when game-software developers' profits are expected to grow the most, after the winner and loser for consoles becomes clear,'' Ishizuka said. "I will ensure earnings jump in the next three years by promoting licensing of our games and increasing spending on promotions.''

Hudson Soft is 54 percent-owned by Konami, and has other investors including Nintendo, JP Morgan Asset Management Japan and UBS AG, according to Bloomberg.

and they can very well reach that profit thanks to Nintendo sales worldwide

Well considering the Wii is where they put about 97% of their offerings, it's really no surprise it's where they turned a major profit.

RTFA. 

It's not saying they've turned a profit, it's saying they're expecting to turn a major profit within the next 3 years.

Oh I'm so sorry. Let me rephrase.

Better? 

 

I think its possible, quite likely infact, but I wonder how much money they will make of shovelware.
