Glad Orochi 3 is doing alright. However those percentages don't look promising for the full year forecast but they're pumping out a good amount of releases this quarter.

"Dissidia Opera Omnia did well near the end of the year"
You bet, they released EX weapons that are ultra rare and incread pull rates overall so people felt more eager to spend.
You could feel it as they we got more and more gifts too.

Warriors Orochi 4 shipped 500k at the beginning of November. 2 months later it's still there.

I understood, I was surprised that they developed the game. I never knew that.
I get annoying by their projects for other publishers that are not with Koei Tecmo's own IP (Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3). They're constantly milking their old formulas - we have decades worth of Warriors, Nobunaga, Sangokushi, Atelier, and Winning Post -, but those formulas will fade away because people will get tired of them. Warriors and Atelier have been in decline for quite a while already, and it's been boosted by the generational shift from PS3 to PS4, at least in the domestic market. Because of that, their work for hire projects become more important to them in the long term, but with lower margins. I don't know how they manage to keep growing their revenues and profits, and how their share price saw a bump of ~57% in 2015-2017. 2018 has been more or less flat, and it remains to be seen how they will perform in the coming year, but I'm not positive about them.

Seems like their console products are up a bit which is good for them, but also the games they released last year we're not good at all, they need to step things up again.

Surprised their mobile division is doing great given that I rarely ever hear any talk about their games.

Do they have any original titles announced right now besides the new Atelier game and a bunch of ports? Especially with Omega Force, it's weird how quiet they've been.
