BANDAI NAMCO Holdings' General Meeting of Shareholders 2010

BANDAI NAMCO Holdings General Meeting of Shareholders 2010
Today I want to introduce BANDAI NAMCO Holdings' General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 21, 2010.
Why?
During the question and answer session, shareholders asked some question about product and anwered by the company. I want to introduce those stuff, nothing about management here.
I'll be the questioner then.
I'll be the answerer.
How about combining old content with new content? You can make something suitable for both adult and children by using old content.
Pacman 30th Anniversary had been announced at E3. We look forward to the next 30 years. New platform included iPod.
PreCure is already old. My 12 years old daugther abandon it. How about Asia strategy?
PreCure last for 7 years. PreCure All Stars film made old fans return. Tamagotchi is hot, but we will make new version with new system to gain high school customers. We've got a Ciao shop too. Asia is linked to Japan, Gundam's Sangokuden is hot, and we'll expand it. Power ranger is hot too.
Card games like "Kamen Rider Ganbaride" and "Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O" have the same target, are they eating up each other?
Data Carddas's market is half of its peak, 30 billion yen now. We have 60% of share. One Piece and Tamagotchi targeting girls, we spread our target.
As for online game, Gundam Universal Century ended when its max. login below 10,000. GNO3's member is about 10,000. SD GUNDAM Capsule Fighter Online is free of charge, how is the target user number?
We set up Bandai Namco Online on October 1 last year to fight back. You mentioned 3 Gundam online game. Gundam Universal Century had a big scale but is too early to the era and the fee system is no good. GNO3 is the 3rd title of the 10 year series. Monthly fee model, GNO 1 and 2 had 80,000 constant users. Since the server is old we started GNO 3. Only 10,000 constant users. SD GUNDAM Capsule Fighter Online was launched in Korea and China, now it is available in Japan. Need 1 year to see the result.
PreCure would end in long-run. How about the next content?
PreCure is still hot in particular user zone. Of course we have new girl-oriented content but not ready to announce yet. We have different content for Europe and America too.
About digital content, how is 3D going on?
3D is hot in E3. SCE's PS3 support 3D TV, that should be a future standard. Game is suitable for 3D. 10% cost raise can make 3D CG. Nintendo 3DS will be popularized by 100 million scale, that's a easy platform for 3D. BANDAI NAMCO group have toys, video, game, music, many content like Gundam, Tekken and Tales are suitable. That's need technology but we think all anime and game will be 3D in the future.
Sunrise said there will be a GUNDAM SEED film, but no update. Is that still making?
GUNDAM SEED is making but we don't have a release date yet. 00 scheduled for this Summer. Unicorn Chapter 2 is set for October.
That's all.
BANDAI NAMCO have deep relation with anime and game, so there are many title mentioned. You should be interested in that.
