One of the forum members from SegaBits got ahold of Sega Sammy’s early report of it’s fiscal year performance. And as SegaBits later describes it, it seems to be going very well for Sega:
SEGA-Sammy have been losing money for a while now and it seems they are finally getting the hang of things. They have posted that they expect to make $194 million dollar profit in the end of this fiscal year.
Things to note, Pachinco & Amusement Machine sales saw an improvement; while Amusement Facilities & Consumer business made less income than they thought it would. As for consumer business (Consoles, etc.) they were expecting to sell 29.7 million units of software, but that guess has been lowered to 26.3 million units.
It’s a shame that they sold less software than what they were expecting and I kinda agree on what Sega Bits says, Resonance of Fate sold poorly I’m afraid. But then again releasing it in the same month as God of War 3 and Final Fantasy 13 was pretty much suicidal.
Expect Sega Sammy’s full reports, according to Suzuki Yu, to be posted in about 3 weeks,
