MD松尾のゲームヒットランキング:2019年TSUTAYA年間1位は「ポケットモンスター ソード」 - 毎日新聞

MD松尾のゲームヒットランキング:2019年TSUTAYA年間1位は「ポケットモンスター ソード」 - 毎日新聞

 TSUTAYAで加盟店にゲームソフトの商品提案をしているマーチャンダイザー(MD)の松尾武人さん。バイヤー歴10年以上の経験からソフトの特徴に合わせた商品展開を得意としている松尾さんが、年間ランキング(2018年1月1日~12月24日)を基に、2019年のゲーム市場を振り返った。

 2019年のTSUTAYAの年間ランキングでトップを飾ったのは「ポケットモンスター ソード」(NS、ポケモン)でした。「ポケットモンスター シールド」(同)も3位にランクインしており、とても良かったですね。過去作との比較で言えば「ポケットモンスター サン・ムーン」(3DS、ポケモン)を上回っており、相当な売れ行きだったといえるでしょう。メーカーのプロモーションがしっかりしていて、最初は20歳前後の男性が多かったのですが、クリスマス需要が高まる12月に岡田将生さん、「ハライチ」の澤部佑さんを起用したキッズ向けのCMを投入した効果もあったようです。

 ゲームの中身としても、序盤から新ポケモンにかなり出会うので、新鮮な印象を受けますし、全体的にストレスが減っています。主人公の頭身を変えてスマートにしたことをはじめ、グラフィックも一新したことで、今風のオープンワールドっぽい見栄えになっているのも良かったですね。ネットワークを介したマックスレイドバトルといった新しい試みも盛り込まれています。

 2位に入った「キングダム ハーツ3」(PS4、スクウェア・エニックス)は13年ぶりの新作となりましたが、シリーズファンを中心によく売れました。ストーリーの評価も高く、RPGが少ないご時世ということもあって、多くの支持を集めたようです。

 4位の「大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ SPECIAL(スマブラ)」(NS、任天堂)は、「ポケモン」が出るまでずっとスイッチ本体をけん引し続けてきたソフトでした。追加コンテンツをずっと導入してゲームを拡張させていったことで、お客さんを飽きさせないだけでなく、他の作品の人気キャラクターを参戦させたことで、夢の対決を実現。従来のスマブラファン以外にも支持を広げました。

 5位の「New スーパーマリオブラザーズU デラックス」(同)は1月という出たタイミングも奏功。「スマブラ」で年末年始にスイッチを購入したお客さんの“2本目”としての需要に応えた作品で、その後も“2本目”としてよく売れました。WiiUで発売されたタイトルのリメークにあたりますが、数あるマリオの中でこれを選んだのは英断だと思います。3D作品もいろいろありますが、2Dのマリオを遊びたいという需要もやっぱり根強いんですよね。

 リメークといえば「バイオハザード RE:2」(PS4、カプコン)もものすごく売れました。原作の「バイオハザード2」は、1998年に発売されたタイトルということで、かなり時間がたっていますし、リメークもそんなにされていないという点もよかった。中身としても、現在の最高の技術でのリメーク、リマスターということで、純粋に怖さを感じる素晴らしいホラー作品に仕上がっています。発売当時も売れましたが、その後もロングセラーしました。

 なお、8位の「モンスターハンターワールド:アイスボーン マスターエディション」(PS4)ですが、こちらはパッケージ版にあたる「マスターエディション」なので、ダウンロード版の売り上げを含めると、市場全体では首位のポケモンに肉薄しているのでは。「スマブラ」同様、コンスタントな情報公開や、ゲーム内でのイベントで、ユーザーをつなぎ止めることができました。実際、年末年始のPS4本体の1万円オフキャンペーンでは、新作を差し置いて一番売れています。

 さて、2019年の売り上げ全体を振り返ってみると、前年比でいうと、ソフト、ハードとも9割届かず弱かったという印象です。PSVita、3DSといった旧機種の売り上げがほとんどなくなったところで、ニンテンドースイッチは前年超えを果たしたのですが、PS4が前年を大きく割ったことで全体として減少しました。タイトル数で見ても、スイッチがおよそ3倍に増えたのに対し、PS4は前年並みで大きくブレーキがかかったといえるでしょう。

 厳しかった2019年でしたが、2020年は前年超えの明るい年になりそう。ソフト不足に悩まされたPS4も「ファイナルファンタジーVII リメイク」(スクウェア・エニックス)を筆頭に、「ワンピース 海賊無双3」「ソードアート・オンライン アリシゼーション リコリス」(いずれもバンダイナムコエンターテイメント)「ラストオブアス2」(SIE)などの有力タイトルが発売されますし、スイッチも3月の「あつまれ どうぶつの森」「ゼルダの伝説 ブレス オブ ザ ワイルド」(いずれも任天堂)「真・女神転生V」(アトラス)などが予定されています。さらに年末には待望のPS5も発売と大いに期待しています。

High Strength Steel Market Size worth USD 53.43 Billion by 2026; Rising Demand for Lightweight Automobiles to Fuel the Growth, Says Fortune Business Insights™ - GlobeNewswire

Pune, Jan. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global High Strength Steel Market size is projected to reach USD 53.43 billion by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period. Rising demand for lightweight steel in the automotive industry is expected to be a major growth driver of this market. There is an urgent global need to reduce carbon emissions from automobiles and adoption of high strength steel in place of carbon steel offers a viable solution to this problem. This category of steel is known for its high strength capacity, which reduces the conventional steel requirement to manufacture vehicles and vehicular parts. Furthermore, high strength steel has a greater yield of 275 MPa and above along with carbon content between 0.05% and 0.25%, manganese content below 2%, and a combination of other metals. These properties make this type of the steel the ideal candidate for producing lightweight vehicles and this will also become one of the leading High Strength Steel Market trends.

According to a new Fortune Business Insights™ report, titled “High Strength Steel Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA), Dual Phase (DP), Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP), Martensitic (MS), and Others), By Application (Automotive; Building & Construction; Mechanical & Heavy Equipment; Rail, Aviation & Marine; and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2019-2026”, the value of this market stood at USD 28.79 billion in 2018.

ArcelorMittal informs Essar Steel investors about cancellation of their holding in company - BusinessLine

The shattered investors of Essar Steel have finally received communication from ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel Company stating that their holdings have been cancelled in line with the insolvency resolution plan approved by the Supreme Court.

Earlier, investors had expressed shock when they found that the shares suddenly went missing from their demat accounts at a time when broking firms are freely raising money by pledging investors’ stocks.

While banks have done well to settle their outstanding Essar Steel loan of Rs 49,000 crore for Rs 42,000 crore by burning Rs 7,000 crore, the poor small investors and operational creditors have been left in the lurch, said an investor with 200 shares of Essar Steel.

On the contrary, wealthy corporates have designed a business model of buying stressed assets at a throwaway price from banks, and making a killing on them when the loans are settled, he added.

Last February State Bank of India put its outstanding Essar Steel loan of Rs 15,431 crore on auction, but had to shelve it due to unrealistic clauses.

About 10 per cent of Essar Steel’s shares are still held by small investors, even after the company made an open offer for delisting the shares, as the offer price then was very low.

In an e-mail statement to investors, Pankaj S Chourasia, Company Secretary, Essar Steel India said in connection with the corporate insolvency resolution process of Essar Steel India, the resolution plan submitted by ArcelorMittalIndia had been approved by the Supreme Court through its judgement dated November 15, 2019, after considering the judgement of the National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal.

Section X, Part B of the Resolution Plan provides for capital reduction of the entire existing issued, subscribed and paid-up share capital (both equity and preference) of the company held by the existing promoters and public shareholders, such that ArcelorMittal India (along with its nominee shareholders) will be the sole shareholder of the company.

Accordingly, it said the entire existing issued, subscribed and paid-up share capital (both equity and preference) of the company stood cancelled and extinguished with effect from December 16, 2019.

Pursuant to such capital reduction and cancellation, the shares of the company held by investors had been debited from their demat accounts, it added.

Share certificates held in physical form would also not be valid henceforth, it said.
