In the Digital Entertainment segment, the HD (High-Definition)
Game sub-segment’s net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2024 increased compared with the previous fiscal year due to the
release of titles including “FINAL FANTASY XVI,” “FINAL FANTASY
PIXEL REMASTER,” “DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Dark Prince,” and
“FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH.” However, operating losses grew due to
higher development cost amortization and advertising expenses, as
well as higher content valuation losses versus the previous fiscal
year.
In the MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) Game sub-segment, net
sales and profits declined compared with the previous year.
In the Games for Smart Devices/PC Browser sub-segment, net sales
and profits declined compared with the previous fiscal year as the
June 2023 launch of “Dragon Quest Champions” and the September 2023
launch of “FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS” were unable to compensate
for factors including weak performances by existing titles.
In the Amusement segment, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024,
net sales and profits increased compared with the previous fiscal
year reflecting year-on-year growth in sales at existing
arcades.
In the Publication segment, net sales and profits increased in
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 compared with the previous
fiscal year due to year-on-year growth in both print and digital
sales mainly due to the hugely popular anime television adaptation
of “The Apothecary Diaries,” which debuted in October 2023.
In the Merchandising segment, net sales and profits increased in
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 compared with the previous
fiscal year largely due to brisk sales of new character merchandise
from key IP franchises.
