Sega announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year, which identifies the period between April and June 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Net sales for the whole company were 108,050 million yen (up\u00a063.4% year-on-year) while\u00a0operating income was 22,556 million yen (up 712.2% year-on-year). The big increase in profit was actually driven mostly by the pachislot business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Entertainment Contents business segment, which includes video games, net sales were 53,846 million(up 2.0% year-on-year), while ordinary income was\u00a04,403 million yen (down 45.9% year-on-year).<\/p>\n

Game sales, including the newly-released\u00a0Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection <\/em>and Sonic Origins Plus,\u00a0<\/em>were below Sega’s expectations for both new games and titles released before the quarter. Yet, since some operating expenses were not incurrent, the resulting performance is defined “steady.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The full-year forecast for both sales and income is higher than the results for the previous fiscal year as Sega is expecting the “start full-scale sales of mainstay new titles from 2nd half of the fiscal year.” The upcoming releases\u00a0 can be found in the following table.<\/p>\n

Do keep in mind that this should not be considered an official confirmation that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth<\/em> and Persona 3 Reload <\/em>will launch before the end of the fiscal year (March 31). All we know is that they’ll release in “early 2024.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
