Namco Bandai Q1 Profits Fall

Namco Bandai reported its quarterly net profit, which was just above 1 billion JPY (9.2 million USD), or a 63% drop compared to the same quarter last year.

It seems that the console games section was the only profitable arm for Namco, with the PS2 (still) carrying the heaviest weight. Seeing as they aren't changing their profit forecasts, does it mean that they're more confident about titles like Soul Calibur IV, Tales of Vesperia, not to mention the second half of Gundam 00 airing soon?
