SEGA sales see a slight decline, but profits rise
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
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.

Zelda: Tri Force Heroes sold through 55% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes moved 54,400 copies in its first week in Japan, according to Media Create. The sales tracker didn’t provide a sell-through rate, but Dengeki – who also keeps track of data – did come through on that front.
It looks like Tri Force Heroes managed to sell through 55 percent of its initial shipment. One important point to bring up, however, is that Dengeki has the game closer to having sold 60,000 copies.
Going back to Media Create for a moment, it’s mentioned that multiplayer content has been given the spotlight when marketed with TV commercials and such. For this reason and the fact that it differs from the series’ traditional single-player emphasis, it can be concluded that the strong spin-off flavor resulted in these sales numbers.

Capcom reports latest financial results – profits down, MH4U still doing well
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Today, Capcom issued its financial report for the sixth month period between April and September. While the company did experience an increase in sales, it saw a decrease in income.
Capcom reported a total of $262 million in net sales, up 22 percent over the same six month period in 2014. However, net income decreased from $25 million last year to $16 million. Digital sales of games such as Monster Hunter 4 were said to be “firm, particularly in overseas markets”.
