SEGA is one of the latest video game publishers to have reported its financial results. Between April and September, the company’s sales saw a bit of a dip while profits increased year-over-year.
SEGA’s net sales landed at $1.2 billion for the period, which is a 2.5 percent decrease compared to the same period last year. However, profits were at $7.9 million, a significant improvement given last year’s loss of $23 million. One reason for the decrease in sales is because SEGA didn’t bring out any major titles.

Thanks to everyone for your patience. Our maintenance is complete, and you can now access the Nintendo eShop.

ZombiU doesn’t have online play, but there are elements in the game that make use of the Internet. There are a few small things that make the experience a bit more enjoyable for the player. Those elements include a leaderboard, ability to tag walls, and more.
For whatever reason, ZombiU’s servers simply stopped responding about 4-5 months ago. However, that’s since changed. Users have started to notice that ZombiU’s servers are alive and kicking once more. For the time being, we’re not quite sure why, but perhaps the new version of the game led Ubisoft to implement a fix.
