Square Enix has posted its financial standings ending March 31, 2008, and suffice to say, the relationship with Nintendo must be amiable at worst. The Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy series' took up most of the room, averaging about half a million in sales for their respective countries:

• Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (NDS) - 1,150,000 (Japan)


• Final Fantasy IV (NDS) - 590,000 (Japan)


• Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (NDS) - 540,000 (Japan), 222,000 (US), 280,000 (Europe)


• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (NDS) - 380,000 (Japan), 160,000 (US), 150,000 (Europe)


• Itadaki Street: Mario & Dragon Quest (NDS) - 430,000 (Japan)


• Final Fantasy III (NDS) - 480,000 (Europe. Two million globally)


• Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP) - 800,000 (Japan), 450,000 (US)


• Dragon Quest Swords (Wii) - 490,000 (Japan), 110,000 (US)

Offline game sales fell 45%, and mobile game sales were less than expected. The upside to this is company boss Wada-san has said mobile content could easily be transferred to the NDS, so it's not very unlikely we'd see Parasite Eve 3, Tobal, or Final Fantasy IV: The After (the sequel to FF IV) on the handheld, as Japan has with Front Mission 2089: Borders of Madness. Can't help feel PE3 would be more fitted to the PSP than the DS though, and even moreso again to the PS3.

Besides this stuff, we'll be getting a DS horror title this year (the Game With No Name), Sigma Harmonics, a possible Chrono Trigger reimagining for the portable, and the anime-based Soul Eater on the Wii. They'll also be publishing Infinite Undiscovery with developer tri-Ace for the Xbox 360. This is indeed going to be an interesting year with Square Enix.
