Forums - Sales Discussion - Sony was the 2nd highest mobile publisher in Japan in January

Sony are not just making money from home consoles in japan. They are raking in the cash on the mobile front too. Here is the january mobile chart for Japan.

I find it weird seeing Sony at the top of mobile charts, because they definitely don't come to mind as having a large presence in mobile apps. Is it mostly applications rather than games? Are they mostly japan only releases?



It's thanks to Fate Grand Order,

Fate GO is a giant hit in Japan and growing world wide with a korean, chinese and NA reléase, The japanese versión alone made a Billion dollars Last year.

It's from their Sony Music department. The different departments at Sony often work very separately from each other, sometimes even competing against each other. The Playstation division has nothing to do with this.

Yes thats true, to be more precise this is Aniplex which is owned by Sony music.

:D

It was worth saving all those quartz to try and get her to NP5, (Even if i only got her to NP3)



An incredibly volatile market, though. It's all about finding that next big hit. Speaking of which, it's kind of interesting that some people before were predicting Nintendo would soon dominate the mobile market in Japan but it's Sony that comes out of left field with a touchdown strike on a sudden fast break.
