Square Enix Financial Results May 2023


Net income: -6%
Operating Profit: -25.2%

“Sales did not reach the level of the previous year despite the release of multiple new titles”

There was also more talk of blockchain. But good news is they plan to bolster quality & focus on AAA titles!

“Consider Merger & Acquisitions, creating new studios”

30 million players in Forza 5. WOW. And 20 million in sales for Elden Ring. Very impressive.



 
Maybe release on more consoles.
The ones where people don't buy their games? If Xbox customers bought more square games those deals wouldn't happen. I don't want those deals to happen anyway but if PlayStation customers weren't buying games at 4-5 times the rate xbox gamers do Square wouldn't make those deals with Sony.

Their issue is quality, their big release was a joke of a game and being on more platforms wouldn't have done much. They do well with FF but so many other things seem half assed or just poorly thought out.

If we don't see the next Nintendo device until 2025, the Switch could hit 170 million sold. WOWZA.

Switch as the best selling console of all time is going to feel weird. Its game lineup is abysmal compared to the other top systems.

Or the so called big games aren't as big as people would have you believe.
Nintendo games simply do big business.

There really isn't that good of a reason for everyone to buy a Switch and nobody to buy a Wii U so its not like everyone is that committed to Nintendo

As much as some like to talk about whether Xbox and Playstation are held to the same standard its actually Nintendo that it should be about. Its not console war sexy so nobody cares that they kind of get a pass for so much.
