One of our key tasks concerning globalization is to enter emerging markets.
With our three foothold structure in Japan, North America and European now in place, we are managing business development in Asia from our Japanese foothold, while business in the Middle East and Eastern Europe is managed from our European foothold, and responsibility for developing business in Latin America from our North American foothold. While expanding the sales channel for our packaged titles, and also offering content for globally successful devices such as the iPhone, we intend to develop our businesses through closely connected communities in each region.
