Japanese gaming giant Sega has unveiled its financial performance for the fiscal year ending March 2025, revealing a robust revenue stream from its games division. The company reported an impressive Y244 billion (approximately .6 billion) in revenue, marking a notable 9.6 percent increase compared to the previous year. This growth is particularly commendable given the challenges faced, including the cancellation of the anticipated Football Manager 2025.
Performance Highlights
Within the consumer segment of its Entertainment Contents Business, Sega’s games division generated an operating income of Y21.9 billion (around 7 million) during the same period. The company’s success can be attributed to a combination of new releases and strong repeat sales. Notably, Sega sold 9.2 million units of new titles, contributing Y55 billion (roughly 1.4 million) to its revenue. Additionally, repeat sales accounted for Y33 billion (about 2 million) from 18.7 million copies sold.
Sega highlighted that several key intellectual properties (IP) continued to perform steadily throughout the year. Titles such as Sonic X Shadow Generations, Metaphor ReFantazio, and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii all contributed positively to the overall sales figures.
Despite the successes within its games division, Sega reported a decline in overall net sales, which fell by 8.5 percent to ¥428.9 billion (approximately .89 billion). Operating income also saw a decrease of 16.8 percent, landing at ¥48.1 billion (around 3 million).
