213,000 Pachinko CR Hokuto No Ken Machines Sold: This Is Why We’re Getting More Hokuto no Ken

This financial report for Sega/Sammy has been floating around for some time now, but I noticed that no one mentioned that it mentions that 213,000 Pachinko CR Hokuto no Ken machines have been sold as well as another 49,000 Pachinko CR Hokuto no Ken Yuria machines. Taking the 25,000 yen royalty payment estimate given in Gendai Shikaku Bunka Kenkyu 3 (~7-8% of a machine’s price), and also the fact that you’re not even touching the slot machine side of things, no one should be surprised at the recent Hokuto no Ken revival. I’m also starting to believe Genshiken 3‘s “rumored” number of 40 billion yen total in anime royalty payments.
