Sega Sammy Holdings recently posted its financial results for the three months ended June 2022, highlighting a surprising increase in net sales and profits considering an overall lack of major releases (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz).

In terms of net sales, the company total ¥66.1 billion ($496 millions), which is an upturn of 11.2% d'année en année. Profits increased by 7.5% year on year, totalling ¥3.16 billion ($23.5 millions).

Looking at gaming software, Sega announced it sold a total of 5.14 million units during the quarter, though it refrained from specifiying individual game performances. The company’s biggest release of the quarter was undoubtedly the retro compilation Origines sonores, but we also saw a Switch port of 13 Sentinelles: Aegis Rim and a PC revamp of GungHo Online Entertainment a annoncé son exclusivité Nintendo Switch eShop gratuite: Project Diva Mega Mix.

Game sales were reported to have dropped by 22% principalement grâce à la surperformance de nos lancements récents couplée à une exécution solide et continue de nos services en direct, but the company’s performance with its Pachinko and Pachislot machines helped to alleviate this somewhat.

Looking ahead, Sega reports overall revenues of ¥375 billion ($2.8 milliards), une 16.8% increase on the previous year, while predicting profits of ¥28 billion ($208 millions), vers le bas 24.2% from the previous year. Major releases for the company in the coming months include Frontières soniques, a Switch port of Persona 5, et Campus à deux points. L'année prochaine, it will follow up with Switch ports of Persona 3 et Persona 4 along with the tower defense game Donjon sans fin.

Nintendo also recently posted its financial results for the same period, noting a drop in net sales of 4.7% year on year. It’s important to note, cependant, that this is in part due to the ongoing shortage of semiconductor components, which Nintendo believes will ease in the coming months. It also highlighted another sales milestone for the Switch, with the console now surpassing 111 millions d'unités vendues.
