Forums - Sales - Financial results & shipments of Bandai Namco/Capcom/Gungho/Konami/Sega/Square Enix/Tecmo Koei - fiscal year ending March 31, 2014

F0X's thread reminded me that we got a lot of financial results from Japan today, so I thought I'd compile them all into one thread.

If you spot any more, give me a shout and I'll add them to the OP/title.

  1.  In the Digital Contents business, the featured title "Monster Hunter 4" (for Nintendo 3DS) was supported by overwhelming popularity, as mentioned above, and created a huge buzz even comparable to a sort of social phenomenon. Moreover, sales of "Dead Rising 3" (for Xbox One) that has been geared toward the European and U.S. markets, and "Resident Evil Revelations" (for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC) exceeded a million titles each and so three titles have become million-sellers.
  2. b. In addition, "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" (for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) showed firm sales while projected sales were basically achieved for "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies" (for Nintendo 3DS).
    Furthermore, full-game digital titles, which respond to changes in forms of distribution, contributed to the expansion of sales by growing significantly both at home and overseas in line with the progress in diversification of business models. This included the over-performance of "DuckTales: Remastered" for overseas in addition to the aforementioned "Monster Hunter 4" showing strong sales.
  3. c. Sales of "Lost Planet 3" (for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC), were below expectations due in part to intensifying competition in the European and U.S. markets.
  4. d. Meanwhile, the online game "Monster Hunter Frontier G" (for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U) performed lower than anticipated, but the browser game "Onimusha Soul" which was distributed in Taiwan with the aim of expanding Capcom's business fields, garnered a great deal of attention and ranked first in popularity. This thereby marked the beginnings of gaining a foothold in the market for the local corporation, which was established two years ago.
  5. e. However, mobile contents underperformed as a whole due in part to a lack of major titles and the fiercely competitive environment even though "Monster Hunter Hunting Quest" performed steadily.
  6. f. As a result, net sales were 65,824 million yen (up 3.4% from the previous fiscal year), and operating income was 4,489 million yen (down 36.4% from the previous fiscal year).

Cheers!

Are Gungho using a different fiscal year to everyone else, though?  Theirs seems to end in December.

Good work as always Krezzy! Nothing overly surprising here but nice to see Capcom doing reasonably (even if MH4 carried them pretty much).



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Do I read that right...? God Eater 2 shipped 700k in Japan alone or am I reading the numbers wrong?



God Eater 2 sold 700k units in Japan alone? That is definitly impressive.

They better bring it to the west with those numbers. Plus, i want it. :P

Yeah, that is the reason...


Its always so difficult for them to admit when their games suck.

I wonder what was the excuse Namco gave for the appauling results of that Star Trek game.

 

 

I'm laughing at that Konami chart: Soccer, Baseball, Metal gear.  Yup, that sums up the company quite nicely.

Also, is it wrong of me to smile when i see Capcom's mobile phone business failing? Poor Breath of fire...



Tecmo- Koei always profiting so much lol. Well actually idk if $68m is a lot for that company.



Still glad to see that Lost Planet 3 was a damn failure! ^_^

Updated OP with Sega & Square Enix.

Sega seem a bit disappointed with their year.  You can see their breakdown of regions and their top-selling IP, as well as what they have planned for the next fiscal year (and do some working-out if you want).

Square Enix seem pleased with their results.  The listed games (FF XIV; FF X/X2 HD; DQM2 & Tomb Raider Definitive) performed well for them.  And yes, there was a typo in there.
