Talk:HAL Laboratory (Ohga Shrugs)

Points
Using the point system used on the Hudson Soft page, where 75 employees equals 1 point, let's calculate if this is a decent output for HAL Laboratory. I'll be using the years since 2000 as a guide.


 * Starts 2001 with 2 points, has two titles, one is an update and the other is halfway done goes 3 points into debt
 * Goes up to 0 points in 2002, remake costs only one, down to -1 points
 * 2003 has 1 points, Kirby's Air Ride Costs 3, goes down to -2
 * 2004 has 0 points, Amazing Mirror is a collaobration and thus only costs 1 point, down to -1
 * 2005 has 1 point, no projects
 * 2006 has 3 points, 7 points worth of projects, down to -4
 * 2007 has a recovery to -2
 * 2008 goes to -1 thanks to easy port/remake
 * 2009 has 1 point
 * 2010 has Smash Bros cancelling out gains
 * 2011 has five points of expenditure, plus 2 gained points, now -2
 * 2012 restores balance

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think this formula, used roughly and carefully, can be used to determine if studios are making too few or many games.--Salnax (talk) 02:32, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
