DigiCube Co., Ltd. (デジキューブ) was a Japan ese company established as a subsidiary of Software Developer Square Co., Ltd. on February 6 , 1996 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan . The primary purpose of DigiCube was to market and distribute Square products, most notably Video Game s and related merchandise, including Toys , Book s, and Compact Disc s. DigiCube served as a Wholesale r to distributors, and was noteworthy for pioneering the sale of video games in Japanese Convenience Store s and Vending Machine kiosks. At its peak in 1998 , DigiCube recorded sales of 8.6 million units, equalling ¥46.8 billion JPY . In the following years, however, sales declined precipitously. Although ownership of DigiCube was passed to the newly created Square-Enix following the merger of Square with its former rival Enix in early 2003 , it was already approximately 9.5 billion yen in debt. Following the announcement that the much-anticipated '' Final Fantasy XII '' would be delayed until sometime in 2004 , DigiCube filed for Bankruptcy liquidation at the Tokyo District Court on November 26 , 2003 .1 REFERENCES |
