For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, HD Game sub-segment had a decline from the previous year. Net sales rose year on year in the MMO sub-segment not only in the sharp rise of paying subscribers to Final Fantasy XIV but also expansion pack sales. Their mobile sub-segment had somewhat weak sales but had net sales increase due to changes in accounting. The Amusement segment rebounded as previous FY had effects from COVID shutdown and a return to profitability. The Publication segment had year on year increases in net sales and operating income, with brisk digital sales and solid print sales owing in part to popularity of "My Dress-Up Darling" . In Merchandising, brisk sales of new character merchandise based on "the Group's own content" had higher Net Sales and Operating Income than previous FY.
A few of the slides caught my attention: the FY that just ended had a higher digital to packaged sales ratio as far as digital games. Physical game sales in Japan were essentially half of what they were of the previous year. Small declines elsewhere in game unit sales. (EDIT: HD Game and MMO are both counted for physical and digital game sales)
Square Enix created their Blockchain Entertainment Business Division in Feb. 2022, and were encouraged by feedback and results of their NFT business. (This is apparently called San-Shi-Sei Million Arthur)
