Usually the NCsoft quarterly reports have some interesting information. I didn't see anything too exciting this time. When they're going to announce the games for the Playstation 3. Did I miss that? Also, Aion... is that game going to go anywhere? Is it going to be a match for Conan, Warhammer or Warcraft?
Things are really quiet about Guild Wars 2. I thought that there would be some new information about the game, as isn't the beta supposed to be soon? What about Exteel? How's that doing? I didn't see any new news about that either. Is NCcoin working? How are advertisements in games doing?
I don't see how this report would assist me if I was planning on investing in NCsoft. They like to try new things, but roughly 90% of the business is based around two franchises - Guild Wars and Lineage.
Online Games Sales Mix
- Lineage 35%
- Lineage II 43%
- CoH / CoV 7%
- Guild Wars 12%
- Tabula Rasa 2%
- Others 649 1%
I didn't find this quarter's report to be very insightful. Although, it is reporting on a typically slow period for gaming. I thinking that things should start heating up during the summer.
