Management comments from Yoichi Wada, President and Representative
Director:
"During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, 'DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: Joker 2'
was released in April and became a million seller (1.25 million units). This
success, combined with the continued strength of big titles including 'FINAL
FANTASY XIII' and 'Just Cause 2' launched in the U.S. and Europe in March,
contributed to favorable earnings in the quarter.
"As we continue to strengthen our existing businesses in the second
quarter and beyond, we are also vigorously pushing forward our mid- and
long-term growth strategies of globalization, becoming 'network centric' and
strengthening our own-IPs."
