*Sega Sammy = 6 months.

 

[Bodomism]

Nintendo made more money than all of them combined.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Nice to see Koei Tecmo still making a little bit profit.

 

[Aenima]

RIP Sega

 

[hououinkyouma00]

RIP Sega

Yeah, oof. Everybody go buy Yakuza 7, it's the best RPG of 2020.

 

[Bodomism]

RIP Sega

Perhaps, that was one of the reasons of why they decided to demote Nagoshi. Take a look at Konami, even without AAA games they still able to make more money than Sega.

 

[BreathOfTheWife]

Nice to see Koei Tecmo still making a little bit profit.

Around Capcom level which is outrageous when comparing both companies' catalog.

 

[TLZ]

Huh? How's Sega so low like that?

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[Hudo]

I gotta say that I'm surprised that Square Enix has such low profit margin apparently. But I am even more surprised at Sega. The shareholders won't be pleased.

 

[Astorian]

OP be honest, you made this thread because the Sony VS Nintendo one got closed.

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

Hudo GET ITT!!! THE SHAREHOLDERS OF NEOGAF NEED YOUR MESSAGE!!

Whoever at upper management of SQE approved this project should be kicked out of the company

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Huh? How's Sega so low like that?

Do they have any mass appeal games? As most things in business 80% of profits are made by 20% of your products, the rest is just vanity projects of various execs.

Yakuza games are not cheap to make and the rate Nagoshi has been making them it makes for a giant hole in Sega budget each year.

 

[Hudo]

Hudo GET ITT!!! THE SHAREHOLDERS OF NEOGAF NEED YOUR MESSAGE!!

I'm conflicted whether congratulations are in order or not. Sega's shareholders gotta be pissed.

 

[hemo memo]

Konami..... that pachinko business is doing impressive numbers it seems.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Also regarding gross profit / operating profit - as with everything the idea is to sacrifice short-term profits for the long-term. Is SIE profit actually increasing steadily or do they burn all that money each time they launch a new console?

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

B-but I made the shareholders happy! As a proud owner of a multitude of SIE/Nintendo hardware I followed these threads like a hawk and made my Sony-chan and Nintendo-chan thousands of dollars over the years and my contribution is a number in those figuers! I could've bought my wife that gold bracelt she's been bugging me about for the last couple of months but i told her "honey Sony and Nintendo need my money to improve their fiscal standings and balance sheets it can wait" and so she felt deep shame for her words and deeds!

Sony's and Nintendo's shareholders are proud of you, son.

 

[sunnysideup]

Nintendo is cancer to anyone but nintendo.

When you look at the japans sales chart its like 90% nintendo.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Sega buyout when ?

This result is for the whole group and combined results from other segments like resort / pachinko etc that have been hit very hard by covid. The gaming segment was profitable but not enough to cover other losses.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Konami..... that pachinko business is doing impressive numbers it seems.

They also have that Momotaro game that keeps selling like mad on Japan.

What worries me is Sega. They released cool games like Yakuza 7 and the Yakuza Remaster Collection and they still are at a loss? Man...

 

[TLZ]

Sega buyout when ?

Next Wednesday.

 

[cireza]

Huh? How's Sega so low like that?

SEGA SAMMY is not only about video games but pachinko and arcades, which greatly suffered due to covid.

 

[Bodomism]

Nintendo is cancer to anyone but nintendo.

When you look at the japans sales chart its like 90% nintendo.

For January it's 98% for Nintendo.

 

[Woopah]

Nintendo is cancer to anyone but nintendo.

When you look at the japans sales chart its like 90% nintendo.

Koei Tecmo, Capcom and Konami would not agree with you on that. Nintendo doing well doesn't prevent other companies doing well too.

 

[fran.fernandez]

No mobile game?

 

[Great Hair]

Huh? How's Sega so low like that?

Their game like Yakuza 7 (XSX) did not pass the threshold set by SEGA.

 

[Bodomism]

They also have that Momotaro game that keeps selling like mad on Japan.

What worries me is Sega. They released cool games like Yakuza 7 and the Yakuza Remaster Collection and they still are at a loss? Man...

Because upper management like Nagoshi was stupid enough to release game like Sakura Wars only on PS4 and completely flopped worldwide.

Sakura Wars mobile game is also having financial mismanagement.

3 billion of yen budget and 74 million revenue lol.

Increasing quite significantly YOY.

In all previous launch years (PS1,2,3,4), they suffered a loss -- even if previous years were profitable. This year, Sony launched PS5 and still recorded the highest-ever operating profit in a fiscal year.

 

[Fat Frog]

Good game, Sega

SEGA SAMMY is not only about video games but pachinko and arcades, which greatly suffered due to covid.

.


After Genda, i wonder if they'll sell the pachinkos as well. It would be a good move since the digital sales are doing very well at Sega.


The last financial report also announces more streaming which means Virtual Arcade Center or Esport games with Azure and Stadia's technology. (Stadia won't exist under its current form)
