Sega is the latest company to post its financials for the six-month period ended September 30, with the company posting a profit in spite of stuttering physical game sales.
Sega described digital game sales as a "growth driver," and although the company has admitted that digital sales at the start of the year failed to meet expectations, it said sales of existing titles such as Phantasy Star Online 2, Puyopuyo Quest, and Chain Chronicle have been "robust."
New digital releases Hortensia Saga, Monster Gear, and Sen-no-kaizoku, also got off to a strong start. The company's physical releases have been underperforming, with Sega only shipping 3.2 million physical games this year - a figure that's being put down to "the lack of sales of major titles."
