“Major launches of blockbuster series titles such as Final Fantasy XV and the PlayStation 4 version of Rise of the Tomb Raider, on top of strong download sales of catalogue titles released previously, have led to a material increase of net sales and operating income in the area of console games, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year,” reads the report.
While net sales for the Digital Entertainment segment (which includes console games) increased by 32.7 percent, operating income decreased by 5.8 percent.
Elsewhere, Square Enix reports that net sales and operating income from PC browser games and smart devices increased significantly compared to the same period last year.
