Koei posts record earnings for ’08
Koei’s announced record earnings, proving it’s not all bad in Japan. Just not especially good, is all.
For the nine months ending December 31, Koei sales rose ¥163 million compared to the previous year, up up to ¥20.1 billion total.
Profit lifted ¥968 million to ¥4.5 billion.
PSP game Musou OROCHI The Devil King’s Second Coming, among others, was cited as the reason for the cash avalanche.
The announcement is one of Koei’s last as a standalone company: it merges with Tecmo on April 1.

This news is total yay. I <3 Koei. Long live Dynasty Warriors! (Though a proper next-gen version with all sorts of character costume customisation and pet tigers would be nice).

DW: GUNDAM 2 is excellent, btw. Well done, Koei. Now get onto iNiS and demand a Gitaroo Man sequel.
