Hudson expects profits to rise fourfold by focusing on Wii games |
Ó
Hudson Soft Co. has announced that it expects profits to rise fourfold within three years by focusing on video games for the Nintendo Wii. Hudson vice president Michihiro Ishizuka reasoned that the profits of any video game developer will increase in two years' time after one console has established market dominance.
The implications of this statement are pretty big. It seems that Hudson is expecting that the Wii will come out the winner of the console wars and has decided to fully back the platform. The company has already revealed that it plans on releasing eight games for the Wii this year.
While this looks like a pretty safe move at this point considering the Wii has been outselling both the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3, a lot can still happen in two years' time (or longer if the console wars don't end within that time frame).

I like Hudson soft they make some cool stuff go hudson soft! Ya gotta love bomberman
True...true.... Games that are FUN to play are in these days. I look forward to seeing what Hudson can offer the Wii when they dump a good chunk of interest into it.
They probably saw how well a thrown together crap game like Mario and Sonic Olympics sold, so they are hoping to fill the Wii's quality software void. Most likely they will dump several low-budget titles onto the Wii for easy profit.
For once I agree with you, lol.
That would be one persons ignorant view on it.
That's one persons true prediction. That's what all third parties have done so far...
