@Logic. The silver linning to these reports is that SEGA is alot more healthier fininicially then they were 11 years ago. Remember when SEGA/CSK were named "Least profitable company in Japan?"

Its overseas software, nothing significant since its not SEGASammy's primary source of revenue.


Personally, what this does is bolster the arugument that SEGA should revert back to being a 1st party publisher and should only do digital only multiplatform IPs.

Stu, Logic, still think no new console?

Sega Sammy's game business weighing down earnings

http://www.gamespot.com/news/sega-sammy ... gs-6349735

Quote: "Sega Sammy's slot-machine business in Japan continues to be the company's moneymaker, as the segment posts an operating profit of ¥67.495 billion ($881 million) on revenues of ¥177.716 billion ($2.32 billion). The consumer business, of which console, handheld, mobile, and social games are party, is Sega Sammy's second-largest segment and did not fare so well.

Net sales for its home-gaming segment fell 4.9 percent year-over-year to ¥64.101 billion ($837 million). The segment also reversed last year's modest operating profit, posting a ¥5.51 billion ($71.9 million) operating loss during the period"

Yes I'm sure that Sega-Sammy would think its a GREAT IDEA to piss all the profits from their pachinko business on a new game console. That makes such FANTASTIC BUSINESS SENSE!!1111

UPDATE:

What's this? MrSega/Lindburgh2007 posts some of his craaazy ideas on the article, everyone IGNORES him!! SHOCK! HORROR!

Well crazie, all I can say is that MrSega has been making these wild claims and promises that Sega is about to release a new game console ever since Sega released the RingEdge/RingWide arcade system back in 2009. He makes these yearly promises that either a new game console or tablet or whatever will be released and still NOTHING has happened. He's been wrong the last 3 years, he'll continue to be wrong imo.

@Trufis. They're doing just fine. Its just that their overseas Physical form multiplatform software isn't profiting which is why they should switch to digital only multiplatform IPs. News of SEGA's Austrailian development studio shifting towards digital content is further proof SEGA is taking that route.
