Grim tidings for Nippon Ichi

[briareos_kerensky]

In a recent interview with Famitsu, Shinkawa Sohei (president of Nippon Ichi Software) stated that if Disgaea 5 is not successful they might have to close down. Disgaea 5 is a PS4 exclusive and comes out the same day of Bloodborne, so nothing can go wrong, right?
The company hopes for 150,000 copies sold (Japan only), although the highest selling Disgaea title grossed 70,000 copies on the Vita.

Sure I've seen lots of things contradicting this today that've come direct from the company - think somewhere might have mistranslated or at least misinterpreted some comments and it's spread like wildfire.

NIS President clarifies Disgaea 5 comment, was merely a playful joke.

Well, at least I don't have to worry about Compile Heart or Idea Factory to fill the hole Nippon Ichi would have left.
