next time spell check the title

but i dont think that there 3 xbox games helped

i love some atlus games, but some are garbage. they make way too many games at a time, and even though a lot of them are getting better, they don't give enough time gaps for people to buy them.

what, theyre releasing like 6 DS games from April to May aren't they? thats crazy.

i want Tokyo Beat Down, Steal Princess, and I really liked how two of the others looked, but there's no way I can buy them all. now if there were gaps of time, odds are I would.
big mistake IMO

Bad sign for the industry, if only because Atlus thrived almost exclusively on niche games, and proved that you could have a viable business like that. A case against releasing niche titles, or mostly justification for NoA's more disputable actions.

Wii
Trauma Center: Second Opinion--->Ok/Fail
Trauma Center: New Blood---->Ok/Fail
Baroque--->Huge Fail

Xbox 360
Operation Darkness----> Fail
Spectral Force 3: Innocent Rage---> Fail
Zoids Assault-->Fail

No DS games that were successful, no PS3 games, no well known PSP games. The only PS2 games that are good and what makes Atlus look good is the Persona series.

I don't get it...

Are the losing money from pulling away from certain markets or are their games actually losing them money?

uh, the original trauma center did well on the DS. it did well for atlus anyway. I heard the second one did quite well, and the numbers here are wrong for it, but idk..

@Phoenix_Wiight

Exactly it did somewhat well on the DS but surely bombed on the Wii. Both Trauma Center's did pretty bad on the Wii.

This report refers to Atlus Japan, not Altus USA.  They will pull back.  Hasn't Japan been on an economic decline for several years anyway?

No one is being forced to buy every game Atlus release here.  Besides, half of them are suppose to be terrible anyway.

They didn't make those, they just translated them.

I do think it's a case of a small company taking on too many projects. All those DS games and they didn't sell well.

There games are making them lose money. Think they made two Trauma Center games on the DS they both were somewhat successful. When Altus went to make Wii versions of Trauma Center well apparently both Wii versions of Trauma Center did fair to well with the market. Also the three Xbox 360 games they published all failed critic wise and market wise. 

I new Atlus had to announce something soon on their earnings. Persona can't make that company stay strong for long.
