SEGA-Sammy expecting $194 million profit

by


SEGA-Sammy have been losing money for a while now and it seems they are finally getting the hang of things. They have posted that they expect to make $194 million dollar profit in the end of this fiscal year.

Things to note, Pachinco & Amusement Machine sales saw an improvement; while Amusement Facilities & Consumer business made less income than they thought it would. As for consumer business (Consoles, etc.) they were expecting  to sell 29.7 million units of software, but that guess has been lowered to 26.3 million units.

What game didn’t hit expectations? It might be Resonance of Fate. What do you guys think?

SEGAbits Swingin’ Report Show: Episode #2

by


Alright, so we did promise to make the show a weekly thing, the only problem is that recording the past 2 weeks lead to nothing; mostly because of my awesomely lame internet company.

This week I sat down with Aki-at and SEGA Uranus to discuss some SEGA news and Shenmue. I understand that my volume sounds low, we are sorry about that. Seems to do it to the person that records, we promise to fix this issue next week.
