| theRepublic said: Interesting chart http://www.segasammy.co.jp/english/ir/settlement/segment_consumer.html It looks like their net sales are growing by leaps and bounds, but for some reason they don't profit from it. Part of it is R&D. I couldn't really find anything specific for why costs went up so much. |
Seems most of their sales came from abroad ( 24m vs 2m ) so unfavorable exchange rate surely hurt them badly.
Also their R&D more than doubled from 17.7m in 2006/Q3 to 37.2m in 2008/Q3.
