So if i’m reading this correctly, Lineage 1 is by far their most profitable product, but GW2 is their #2.

Lineage 1 seems to be their “star” game and performer.

I think GW2, for a game that’s over 3 years old, is holding its own.

The new changes will show how much holding power it will have.

Reddit was saying the exact opposite …

Still looks good either way.

Thing is, NCSoft never reveals the sales #s before the launch quarter. So that 20,000 MKRW is only for GW2 Core. All of the GW2 HoT Sales will most likely be included in the very next quarters financials. I predict It will go up to 50,000 MKRW.

Still worried about NCsofts’ net profit (overall). It could affect my game.

Keep in mind that these are only predictions and not solid numbers for 4Q 15. In addition KDB Daewoo lowered the forecasts several times. In August the prediction was 123 bln Won. Now it is halved. Unfortunately we are not able to see the prediction for 1Q 16.

Looks like they really took a bath on Wildstar.

Not a fan of the game myself, but I still hate to see things like that happen.

Yeah but they are giving WildStar a chance to recover with going F2P. However if their numbers don’t significantly improve in a year …

So if i’m reading this correctly, Lineage 1 is by far their most profitable product, but GW2 is their #2.

No, that’s Blade & Soul, we’re number 3.

GW2 is up about 5% year over year in South Korean Won but down 8% in USD if you take currency rates into account. But since NCSOFT is Korean based, it’s all about the Sejongs (10,000 won note, attempted Earth humor detected … arr .. arr).

Looks like a great time to launch my gaming company..NAHARD!!

Are you sure about that? I just went and looked again, and unless I am totally reading that chart wrong, Guild Wars 2 numbers is clearly a little bit higher than blade and soul numbers are.

Page 4 of the quarterly report bar chart. Amount in millions of KrW

http://global.ncsoft.com/global/ir/quarterly.aspx

Lineage 1 – 78,211
Lineage 2 – 15,619
AION – 16,775
Blade & Soul – 24,919
Guild Wars 2 – 20,699
WildStar – 1,727
Others – 14,781

The color for B&S in the bar chart is close to that of GW2. It also hurts that they are adjacent. So order is L1, B&S, GW2, AION, L2, Others, WS.

These don’t include royalties from license holders, primarily from China.

Edit: Oh I see the problem. You are looking at the KDB Daewoo analyst report and looking at their guestimate for 4th quarter. This is the 3rd quarter results, the 4th quarter results won’t be out until next February.
