So, are they still losing money?

From the "Net Income" figures, it looks like they're in the black.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Their unit sales (in thousands) on Wii, PS3 and 360:

Wii: 4,650
PS3: 1,120
360: 790

So look at that, a company that leans towards the Wii manages a profit when they were leaking money before. Huh.

 I'm really surprised at how poorly Bayonnetta has done Its ones of the best games Ive ever played.



Rei on 05 February 2010

Yeah, they've made a profit, finally. Seems like Sega and Namco switched positions this past year.

And they have the name "Mario" in their uber seller, which is also a DS title. It's probably the only title that keeps the company in the black.

The name "Mario" is also in "Mario Strikers", "Super Mario Sluggers", "Mario Tennis" etc. and it comfortably outdid them. Yes, brand power helps, but that fact doesn't suddenly make it 'not count'.

In fairness, I'm sure "Sonic" and "Olympics" also helps. <3

Even if we take out M&S1-2 though, looking at all Sega's games this gen, Wii is still their top performer.
