Sonic Boom moves 490,000 copies, other SEGA financial results tidbits
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 10 Comments
Sonic Boom has sold 490,000 copies worldwide on Wii U and 3DS, SEGA has confirmed. The company’s report doesn’t actually clarify if that figure is shipped or sold-in to consumers. However, it’s disappointing in any case, and Sonic Boom is the worst-performing entry in the series ever.
Today’s information about Sonic Boom’s performance comes from SEGA’s latest financial report. Other interesting tidbits are as follows:
– SEGA spent $210 million on games development
– That is a 27 percent increase compared to the year prior
– Advertising expenses climbed 53 percent, up to $73 million
– SEGA is releasing 50 games by the end of the financial year in March, but combined sales of all those are expected to be about 5.4 million units
– SEGA initially expected to sell about 300,000 units of its four latest Wii U games
– That is now revised to 230,000, making it the weakest platform in terms of unit sales
– Full year expectations for 3DS 1,160,000
– SEGA’s revenue for the three-quarter period was $685 million
– After expenses, that lowers to a profit of $18 million
– SEGA is now organizing a sweeping business restructure, which will rebuild the corporation into three divisions, as part of a wider plan to “drastically improve profitability”
– At least 300 positions at the corporation are targeted for redundancy
– SEGA has set aside $125 million for the restructure costs
– SEGA expects to lose $110m for the full year

Activision has sold over 240 million Skylanders toys
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 2 Comments
Skylanders has continued to perform well since the original game – Spyro’s Adventure – launched in 2011. Activision confirmed in its financial results today that more than 240 million toys have been sold.
It’s worth mentioning that sales have dipped slightly over the past few years. Activision sold only 20 million toys in 2011, but moved 80 million units in 2012. That number then decreased to 75 million in 2013, and 65 million in 2014.

Disney Interactive revenue decreases as Infinity accessory sales decline
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Disney Interactive is the latest company to have reported its latest financial results.
In the first quarter of the 2015 fiscal year, Disney Interactive’s revenue dropped 5 percent. Operating income increased significantly by 36 percent.
Disney Interactive saw a sales decrease of $19 million from last year to $384 million because of lower than expected sales of Infinity accessories and back catalog. Starter packs did help offset some of the losses, and marketing/per unit costs for Infinity 2.0 were higher.
