Square Enix has published their financial report for the financial year ending March 31, 2019.
- Final Fantasy series: 144 million copies (an increase of 2 million compared to the previous quarter)
- Dragon Quest series: 78 million copies (an increase of 2 million compared to the previous quarter)
- Tomb Raider series: 74 million copies (an increase of 7 million compared to the previous quarter)
Noteworthy are the 7 million copies registered by Shadow of the Tomb Raider in the first quarter of 2019, demonstrating how the game is still doing well on the market.
Two 3DO games recently reissued by Limited Run Games, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties and D, appear to have a major problem, according to customers.
D was a great, atmospheric horror game. It was worth the rental back in the day. Also, Limited Run Games sucks.
LRG are just glorified overpriced reproductions.... and now they can't even get that last part right. I make better repros using my own stack of CD-R.
Just don’t. 3DO games were the worst. Imagine paying premium prices for a dog-crap version of a game. The era of barely trying or understanding their own tech and charging asinine prices… 3DN0. It’s best that you don’t admit that you had one of these.
Brendan writes; "Head of digital product development Dan Ayoub tells us about the toy maker's plans to get back in the game."
As part of previously-announced layoffs, Take-Two Interactive is closing Intercept Games and Roll7.
I loved Rollerdrome and was looking forward to a Rollerdrome 2. 😐
Don't want to be melodramatic but as far you can be upset over video-game news ... bit heartbroken.
I feel like there's a trend of well made games like this going largely ignored by the gaming audience. It's quite frustrating. I hope the devs form a new studio but I suppose they'd have to start again from scratch.
Olliolli 2, olliolli world and rollerdrome are some of my favorite indies of all time. This industry is disgusting lately.
I loved Olli Olli.
I wanted to like Rollerdrome a lot more than I actually did. Shame about the studio though
Great numbers and 7 million for SOTR is great. I think we can guess that 70-75% is on PS4 as most multi-platform games sell the most on it.
didnt realize Tomb Raider still put up numbers like that wow
How does SoTR sell so well and Square Enix doesn’t make a mention of it? So many people were erroneously under the impression that it bombed and that it was a stupid decision to release if the same month as Spider-Man, yet it being part of a big franchise still allowed it to move an impressive 7 million in less than a year
Meanwhile NieR: Automata moves 4 million in more than two years and Square Enix can’t contain their excitement for it. The publisher clearly has different expectations for its western and eastern titles
Can't wait for the next DQ game, DQ11 was my first in the series, and they completely won me over.
