SEGA reported its first quarter financial results earlier today, which unfortunately have brought about some disappointing news.

For the period ending June 30, SEGA’s profits dropped by 57.4 percent. While revenue rose slightly year-over-year to ¥88.3 billion ($858 million), net profits dipped to ¥5.5 billion. Half-year losses are estimated to come in at ¥7 billion ($68 million).

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth was the only title released this quarter. It did quite well having sold 250,000 copies in Japan. Another 1.7 million game units originated from older titles.

SEGA’s arcade business primarily drove revenue for the company. Pachinko and Pachislot drove ¥47.5 billion ($461 million) in revenue and an operating profit of ¥13 billion ($126 million).

Wacky peripherals are nothing new to Nintendo titles but this latest title from SEGA is a little extra eccentric. Poochi the Robotic Dog has you interacting with a robotic toy via a 3DS game / app, which can send barks that are translated into Japanese, play rock-paper-scissors and show you how it is feeling by the color on its face. Additionally, it has the ability to sing, has a number of sensors on its back, nose and tail and is currently to be priced at around $58.
