Looks like the parent company is doing pretty good. Always nice to see gross revenue increasing faster than operating expenses!  |

Aion is doing very well for itself so far, and when it launches in NA I think it'll do well too. More money for the parent company is (usually) nice for all the children too.

I'd be more confident if two key NCsoft West people didn't both walk at the same time for "unrelated" reasons.
per: http://www.ncsoft.net/global/ir/overview.aspx
and the 2Q results file therein
(all figures in thousand won)
North America was basically stable as a region
(down to 10 664 from 10 827, which when you factor exchange rates in could we be up in actual $ terms)
Cox Down from 6837 to 6673
NCinteractive sales
2009 2Q 10 996
2009 1Q 10 985
2008 2Q 10 983
very steady sales
Hard figures for max concurrent are no longer in the financial report

@Mr Falkland Islands"A Nation Goes Rogue" Arc# 2369 "Toasters and Pop Tarts" Arc#116617
Very good news indeed, keep it up NCSoft! I just added 70 bucks towards their 3rd quarter with an Aion purchase.

That's amazingly stable in this economy.
Still here, even after all this time!

and "steady" given the financial turmoil of the past while is very encouraging.

Ah, someone beat me to it.
A couple of other numbers ( in million of Korean Won )
CoH/V sales
2Q08 - 5,743
1Q09 - 6,837
1Q09 - 6,673
Yes that's down 2.4% quarter to quarter. However it did better than the drop in total game sales.
2Q08 - 76,408
1Q09 - 125,994
2Q09 - 119,066
That's down 5.5% Q2Q.
They also changed their estimate for total CoH/V income from 25,000 to 26,000.

Erm I must be doing something wrong.
I ran 116 million Won into a Currency Converter to USD and it came out 96,377.4217 USD. That can't be 96,000 USD can it? That seems...low.
1 KRW = 0.000809445 USD 1 USD = 1,235.41 KRW
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
I'm not sure which number you're converting, but suspect you might be mistaking 116,000 millions of won for 116 millions of won, which would work out to $96 million dollars.

Someone said traffic for City of Heroes is down - is that true? Does that mean that Aion is compensating for lowered income from City of Heroes?
Aion is blowing CoH away, actually. It'll never pay off the Tabula Rasa debts on its own though. It's a big company, many pies in the oven and CoH is but a small, tasty one.

There is a starcraft tournament going on in Korea called the Gomtv.net Intel Classic. Its top placing is 50 million won. That equates to roughly 45K USD.
The Won is best matched against the US penny.

While NCSoft seems rather interested in CoH, it's never been a big part of it's earnings. Best I can tell, CoH has been profitable for NCSoft, but still just a drop in their financial income bucket.

SI Radio has many DJs and listeners whom hold City of Heroes close to their hearts. We will be supporting many efforts to keep CoH ALIVE!!
Quote:
Not necessarily. Revenues for Going Rogue box sales are likely to be 4-6 months out after the sales actually happen (this is typical). Revenues from subscriptions are not likely to be accounted for until 3 months after launch. Going Rogue release for the end of the year (near the end of Q4) would be a scenario that would probably not yield any appreciable income increase for this year. Expected returns would be seen in the first two quarters of 2010.
