Medium- and Long-term Business Outlook

We will make the next leap forward by expanding and merging our four core business areas while providing attractive content for various platforms.

Eighting Group is developing mainly four business areas: development of home video game software, development of digital content for mobile phones, development of online games and planning and creation of digital characters. Thanks to the spread of broadband network, digital entertainment content, resources common to these business areas, have been available more easily not only for a wide variety of platforms, such as various media in addition to home-use game consoles, mobile phones, and PCs. The platforms themselves have been changing with the progress of interfaces thanks to technical innovation (such as extended use of social network services (SNS), game consoles supporting 3D and a new controller to reflect a player's movements on game).
Seeing these changes as business opportunities, we are developing and accumulating digital content while cultivating high-quality technical capabilities and providing the content to several platforms. We provide digital content, including game software in the game and animation industry, one of the strategic Japanese industries in North America, Europe, and developing countries, as well as in Japan.
Amid the ongoing digitalization in the entertainment industry, we expect digital content will play an active role in the future. We will collaborate with companies in other fields taking advantage of our digital characters and patents. Through such efforts, we will provide new services by taking advantage of our strength in game to offer content to other fields beyond the boundaries of entertainment.
