News For Each Region
North America
After the somewhat dismal sales of the previous months, sales picked up again, thanks mostly to the release of a slew of new games. Sales of both the HiGrax and the Box picked up, and while the Box still dominated, the HiGrax caught up a little in monthly sales. This was mostly because that Kingdom Inc. had invested into better supplying the North American markets. TIRC still didn't have much to worry about though, because it still managed to put a sales record for North America, selling over 200,000 consoles there in total.
There was another leak from TIRC, but it was a very minor one compared to the previous one. The full name of their mysterious project had been revealed in an interview to be "Project Wanju". Many people are still curious as to what this project is, and more info on it will likely be revealed as it comes closer to completion.
Nexus Systems began to advertise their upcoming game "4-BLOX", and while name didn't seem to be too popular, the concept of the game itself caught the attention of many.
Mann Entertainment released Silent Service 2: Leviathan's Oath, the game that did the best on the Box by a fair margin. It was well reviewed, and some considered it to be the one of the best games to be released during the current generation. Many fans of the original played late into the night to finish the game as quickly as possible, and very few felt disappointed upon beating the game. Mann Entertainment as invested heavily into increasing the skill of their programmers and their efforts seemed to have paid off. (+1 Employee Skill, +1 Fan Support)
Europe
Shipments of both HiGraxes and The Box saw an increase, and both Kingdom Inc. and TIRC seemed to be much more organized in Europe now. Yet again, sales wise, both consoles sold about the same, both stopping just short of selling out.
Avalon released the best selling game, Xanea of the quarter, and while it was reviewed as only "good", it is considered to have one of the best stories in a game for a while. Xanea sold well on both consoles. Avalon Games also invested into increasing the skill of their employees, and they succeeded. (+1 Employee Skill)
Illusion Development invested into improving the quality of their employees, but it looks like their employees might need a bit more training before their skill sees a more notable increase.
Spire Entertainment released Shot From Above, and while it sold well, it was only a decent game.
Japan
Sales of the HiGrax remained high in Japan, and sales of the Box increased a little bit, but Japan was still utterly dominated by the HiGrax. There was a much larger supply of HiGraxes available, and for the first time, the HiGrax wasn't a hard to find item.
GawShang released From Up to Down 2 and it sold fairly well overall. They also hinted at that they have made a break-through in some type of advanced imaging technique, though more information hasn't been released yet. Additionally, they spent some money to hire some the best programmers in the surround regions.(+1 Employee Skill)
