EA's king of the world. I didn't read their earnings report, but they were up $3+ in after hours, so it must've been good. Square lost money on its movie. Konami didn't take a loss, just less of a profit, realizing that Yu-Gi-Oh Plaid might not be the best bet. Most of Capcom's success lately came from PSX/2, and they cited DC as the reason for weakness in their latest annual report.
Companies who shunned the DC were better off in some respects. They didn't have to go through two transition periods, and it's transition periods that are the toughest. However, they also passed up easy money for about a year, assuming they would've played the DC right, that is (anyone who didn't dump the DC after a year didn't play it right). |
