He who dares wins.
Atlus, the publisher that brought Demon’s Souls West, has posted a profit. And the two events are entirely linked.
Last year’s operating income loss of $1.2 million transformed into a positive $5 million this year (1st September 2009 to 31st August 2010), according to Siliconera.
Index Holdings, the parent company of Atlus, picked out Demon’s Souls as the reason why. A slide of Atlus’ released games was half filled by the box-art of From Software’s celebrated action-RPG; on the other half, nine titles struggled to be seen.
