Oy. That's painful.
I think he meant the Wii U version only, which bombed at retail but might've done well digitally.I had thought that DQX was actually profitable within a short time span? Even more so considering payments for the online fees could be done by purchasing prepaid point cards, which allowed for a larger userbase at start due to not having to muck around with credit cards and such.
Not sure on how its doing currently though.
Lightning Returns will bring SE back on the road to glory.
Game should be cancelled because no one cares.
There are a thousand other characters that should 'return' instead.
Japan likes lightning far more than we do.
Hey guys.
What's happening to the industry these days?
Square Enix Japan Branch is the one giving problems. -_-

Gunpei wasn't bullied out (don't believe every bullshit from the internet).If the creator of the Gameboy and Nintendos early success can get bullied out then why can't miyamoto?
Gunpei fucked up with the virtual boy but miyamoto screwed over Nintendo countless times with his hairbrained ideas.
Watch it's all planned. S-E's going to have Versus be the one to pull them out of the ground like how the first Final Fantasy did for the company.
They just need to release it...
Wada did what Iwata needs to do.
Man up and resign or at least sack reggie and miyamoto.
I'm Hoping square go back to their PS1 days and just release awesome games :-(
That's what happens when you don't make games that people want to play.
3 million people don't want to play Tomb Raider and Hitman? 5 million don't want to play 13? Come on. The problem is development costs and poor management here. Nomura is one of the worst offenders.
In retrospect are we even surprised?
Why? Thief has been in development for a long time. Final Fantasy XIV was a financial diaster. The engine for the Fabula Nova Chrystallis games took to much time to develop. This meant that FFXIII was shown at E3, but one could say they had nothing of the actual game developed. They showed off a game that had no content developed. A lot of assets were not used for FFXIII. The game also had a long development time. Final Fantasy: Type-0 took many years to release and it never got a Western release. They lost a lot of money on that. The PSP might be dead over here, but it would have most probably recouped localization costs. FFXIII-2 had to be done because a lot of people were not happy with FFXIII. Now they are making Lightning Returns to try and fix problems people had with FFXIII-2. Don't forget last generation when FFXII was in development hell.
Blaming Nomura is very silly.
Where?how about not dropping your prices so bloody quickly.
Hitman absolution can already be had for $5, it's not a terrible game and its not even a year old. Tomb raider can already be had for about $20 as well.
They handle iOS/handheld games worse than almost any other major publisher.
They won't make games fans have been wanting for years.
They regularly refuse to localize games that fans in regions outside Japan have demonstrated an interest in.
They spend absurd amounts of money games like Final Fantasy XIII, XIV, and XIII-2 only to release turds, and Versus XIII, only to release nothing.
How is this a surprise? Just about the only part of the company that appears to know what the fuck they're doing is whoever is handling the Eidos stuff.
Start a kickstarter for the Type-0 localization.
