Namco Bandai game business up 32% in fiscal quarter, Soulcalibur 5 leads sales

Namco Bandai's Game Software Division brought in 13.8 billion yen ($176.3 million) in its fiscal Q1 (ended June 30), up over last year's 10.4 billion yen. Overall, the "Content Business" that includes game software brought in 57 billion yen ($728.18 million), a 60% increase over the 35.6 billion from the same time last year.

The success of Namco's game business is partly due to just brute force – Namco released 46 games worldwide in the quarter, versus 27 last year. Its best selling game for the quarter was Soulcalibur 5, which added 680,000 worldwide sales to its total, for a life-to-date 1.38 million. Its other named best sellers include Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, which sold 440,000 in the quarter, and the Japan only Toriko Gourmet Survival 2 for PSP, which sold 100,000.

Man, I was so hyped for SCIV. I was a beast with Darth Vader. SCV however was a huge letdown. I tried to like it, even convinced myself it will get better. But I returned it the next day. And when Tx3 drops the fighting game world will have a new King.

i like sc5 though, but it was probably because i never played the other ones so i had no really high expectations. a nice side game to !! around, but i wouldnt get really serious with it.
