« Entertainment Contents »
In the consumer area, for Full Game, the unit sales of new titles were leading to 1,660 thousand copies (1,480 thousand copies for the same period in the prior fiscal year) and the unit sales of repeat titles were leading to 8,850 thousand
copies (8,650 thousand copies for the same period in the prior fiscal year). As a result, overall unit sales for Full Game totaled 10,520 thousand copies (10,140 thousand copies for the same period in the prior fiscal year). F2P was driven by "Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat. Hatsune Miku", and "ONE PIECE Bounty Rush" developed by SEGA CORPORATION and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.
In the amusement machine sales area, the Group mainly sold UFO CATCHER® series and prizes, etc. In the animation and toy area, for animation, the Group recorded allocated revenue of "DETECTIVE CONAN: Black Iron Submarine", etc., and for toy, new products "Chiikawa's dream talking giant pudding house" and regular products were sold.
As a result, net sales in this segment were ¥121,086 million (an increase of 3.8% for the same period in the prior fiscal year) and ordinary income was ¥9,072 million (a decrease of 47.4% for the same period in the prior fiscal year).

« Pachislot and Pachinko Machines »
For pachislot machines, in addition to the sales of "Smart Pachislot BIOHAZARD: VENDETTA" which is the Group's second smart pachislot title, the Group sold additional units of "Smart Pachislot Hokuto No Ken" launched in the first

« Resort »
In the resort business, at "Phoenix Seagaia Resort", in addition to the contribution of the government and its own measures to stimulate tourism demand and steady performance of individual customers, the recovery of group customers, which had been sluggish due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been seen because of large-scale MICE (Meeting, Incentive Travel, Convention and Exhibition/Events) such as international conferences and corporate events.
Overseas, "PARADISE CITY", operated by PARADISE SEGASAMMY Co., Ltd. (affiliate accounted for using the equity method), the casino sales have been seen a stronger-than-expected recovery with the drop amounts (purchased
amount of chips by customers at the table) of Japanese VIPs maintaining a level exceeding that before the spread of COVID-19, etc.
*PARADISE SEGASAMMY Co., Ltd. is posted three months delay due to the fiscal year ended in December.
As a result, net sales in this segment were ¥6,057 million (an increase of 7.2% for the same period in the prior fiscal year) and ordinary income was ¥249 million (ordinary loss of ¥2,392 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year).

Consumer Area: Sales trend (revenue and units)

Structural reform in the Consumer Area

Background
➢ Profitability has been rapidly lowered due to sudden changes in the business environment surrounding the European CS business (sluggish sales and increased costs)
➢ As a result of reviewing the positioning of this business based on the above situation, we determined that it is necessary to improve its earnings structure by implementing structural reform

Items to be implemented
➢ In addition to HYENAS, cancel some unannounced titles under development
➢ In accordance with the above, write-down of work in progress was implemented in the Q2 financial results
➢ Reduction of fixed expenses (implement rationalization measures including headcount reductions, centered on Creative Assembly)

Future direction of European business
➢ For CS business in Europe, we see potential for re-growth from the perspective of owned IPs and development capabilities for specific genres, and we will improve our earnings structure through structural reform
• Focus on the strength of each studio and narrow down the lineup (selection and concentration)
• Review of fixed expenses levels in the European CS business as a whole to an appropriate scale
• Integration of European and U.S. publishing functions
- Improve cost structure by sharing marketing functions and strengthening development management
and content checking functions
- Sales promotion through multi-platform and expansion of region roll-out
➢ Challenge towards global mobile market through Rovio

[ILikeFeet]

Feel bad for Creative Assembly. Sega delt them a bad hand with Hyenas and the Total War blunders ain't helping.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Actually infuriating that none of Sega's execs are seemingly being pressured to resign.

The people who greenlit a big budget Crazy Taxi GaaS getting to fire a bunch of people is just clearly stupid. The people in charge have no idea what they're doing and should be the first to go.

The Super Games are being handled by mostly former AM staff who've been absorbed into the GAAS and mobile Divisions (3 & 4). It's as much an organizational initiative as it is a commercial one and I'm glad longtime AM staff wasn't simply let go.

If they fail I'm sure there'll be repercussions and another reorg but you're being premature here.

 

[Joseki]

That was a brutal read, and the spectre of Super Game being a Super Failure is still there.

They will obviously fail massively, but the people in charge of green lighting these games and Hyenas should have been fired last month. All of their executives should be gone after Hyenas and their 5-10m sales projection for Sonic Superstars. They're out of the depth and deluded and should not continue to be employed. That they will be able to take an ax to CA is a joke.

5-10m? I thought they expected Superstars to sell on par with Frontiers (though admittedly it's coming in below that).

Hyenas was produced under SOE, who has a bit of autonomy, so the exec heads that'd roll are different from the Super Games anyway.

 

[tobinator]

That unit sales forecast revision is very interesting. I'm not sure if repeat sales account for games released in previous fiscal years or previous quarters of the same fiscal year, but if it's the latter, then SEGA expected HYENAS to sell little under 3 million units in its first quarter and 6 million for the fiscal year? That seems quite ludicrous. I'm sure they also adjusted numbers because other games weren't doing as well as they expected, but honestly, HYENAS selling even 1 million in that timeframe would've been a miracle.
