After reporting nearly flat revenue growth during its first fiscal quarter yesterday, the company

losses.
Luckily for Namco Bandai, its home-gaming business continues to heat up. Today, the
publisher said that Soulcalibur IV has shipped more than 2 million units for the Xbox 360 and
PlayStation 3 across the globe since it launched on July 29.
Along with the game's returning cast, which includes Siegfried, Ivy, Cassandra, and
Cervantes, Soulcalibur features a few iconic stars on loan from LucasArts in the form of Darth
Vader and Yoda on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions, respectively. Although the two
Star Wars titans can't go head to head, LucasArts also lent The Apprentice character from the
upcoming Force Unleashed for proper lightsaber duels.

Associated Press - George Lucas says he's already identified the one person who can keep the
"Indiana Jones" franchise going: Harrison Ford.
The filmmaker scoffed at the possibility of passing the famed fedora from Ford to Shia
LaBeouf, the 22-year-old actor who played Indy's son Mutt Williams in this summer's "Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
"He is Indiana Jones," Lucas said of Ford. "If Indiana Jones wasn't in it, you'd have to call it
'Mutt Williams and the search for Elvis.' ... "Yeah, it's 'Mutt Williams and the Search for Elvis.'"
Lucas sat down with AP Television at his Big Rock Ranch outside San Francisco, where he
said he didn't pay much attention to the reception from critics and fans to "Crystal Skull," a
sci-fi adventure set in the 1950s. But he definitely sees a future for Dr. Jones. A fifth movie is
certainly a possibility. [full article]
