Japanese gaming giant Sega has unveiled impressive figures from its games division, reporting a revenue of ¥244 billion (.6 billion) for the fiscal year ending March 2025. This segment, categorized under the company’s Entertainment Contents Business, experienced a commendable year-on-year growth of 9.6 percent.
Performance Highlights
In addition to the robust revenue, Sega’s games division generated an operating income of ¥21.9 billion (7 million) during the same period. Notably, this performance was achieved despite the setback of canceling Football Manager 2025. The success can be attributed to the strong sales of new titles, which accounted for 9.2 million units sold and contributed ¥55 billion (1.4 million) to the revenue. Furthermore, repeat sales played a significant role, bringing in an additional ¥33 billion (2 million) from 18.7 million copies sold.
Sega highlighted that several key intellectual properties (IP) maintained steady sales 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 performance.
However, on a broader scale, Sega reported a decline in net sales, which fell by 8.5 percent to ¥428.9 billion (.89 billion). Additionally, operating income saw a decrease of 16.8 percent, landing at ¥48.1 billion (3 million). Despite these challenges, the resilience of the games division showcases Sega’s ability to navigate a competitive landscape while continuing to engage its audience with beloved franchises.
