They have forced consumers to wait too long.
Definitely a bad sign for the industry.
This is so stupid. More money on marketing? So they'll sell shitty games with better advertising? Come on. Also holding back E3 presentation is bad for gamers. Hype for E3 lowered
Only if you run development like total morons. Which, yes, is most of the industry, but this is the wake up call generation where things need to start running like production should and not unguided late night homework assignments left to the last minute.
More marketing does make sense though. If you don't have a TV advert and mass coverage, you don't sell. Simple as that really.
you just got twitter'd
I don't even know what this is supposed to mean.

More Final Fantasy All the Bravest?
Wish I had a link to that all the bravest gif...was hilarious.
when was the last time they held E3 presentation?
Portfolio tailored by region? God fuck.
Does this pretty much mean that the odds of future handheld (or many console games too) jrpgs without FF or KH branding have really low chance of localization?
It's sad that nowadays you have to develop either an AAA game, or a smartphone game. No more space for mid-tier projects, that flourished during PS1 / PS2 / DS era.

"We had ur monies but we lost it. Please be forgiving."
Sorry I meant hold as in "actually having one".

It's about what Wada was saying before he got fired: they put out some well-received titles (like Sleeping Dogs or Tomb Raider), but rising costs both in development and in marketing and rapidly decreasing prices (I think Wada also mentioned price protection) contributed towards them underperforming hard.

Europe numbers were ok, it's the NA territory where the sales were lower than expected.I've seen loads of TV ads for hitman absolution and tomb raider here (italy) yet apparently they don't have sold enough.
I think the whole "E3 presentation" thing needs to be a bit clearer. The way it's said sounds more like Square Enix's E3 lineup---what they're presenting at E3.

2006.
yeah like I said in the other thread, I'm not sure that means they will have one, it's a rough tweet. I imagine they must be scheduling time already if there was one, with journalists I mean.
Do you think they will actually wake up as you call it? Seems like they all feel they are perfectly fine and just need to "market" better vs controlling expenses.
