For the half year ending at the end of September, Square Enix improved YoY their net sales, operating income, operating income margin and profit. This improvement has been driven by their 'Digital Entertainment' area. This is the home videogames part, the one they split into HD games, MMO, mobile and browser games. All these subcategories saw their net sales and operative income increased.

This half a year they sold 14.87M HD games and MMO game software units, of which 1.52M (10.22%) were packaged (physical). In the same period of the previous FY they sold 9.93M units, of which 1.38M were packaged (13.90%). 9.20M (61.87%) of these 14.87M units were sold in NA+EU.

Haters who wanted Square-Enix to crash and burn because they walked away from PlayStation exclusivity in shambles.

It's clear Kiryu has instructed the company to just copy the Capcom model (publish everywhere, and push your catalog sales like crazy through rereleases and deep sales) and it's working. They're even doing the regional and physical/digital splits in their reporting like Capcom now.

If next gen is next year... good chance we see FFXVII next summer.

I somehow doubt that's even in development already. CBS1 seems occupied with FF7 Revelation and will still be making DLC for that as well, as well as Kingdom Hearts 4. CBS2 is working on DQ12. CBS3 is doing Evercold and based on Yoshi-P's comments I think they don't want to take another jab at a mainline offline FF after what they experienced with FFXVI. Unfortunately even though Square Enix is doing a lot of things right these past years it looks like we're again going to be looking at a huge gap between numbered FF installments.
 
Nice ---the part on their merchandising saw a decrease...just makes me want to say how about release a cool figurine of Squall and Rinoa Square instead of another Cloud figurine... 🥴
 
Good stuff. Honestly, I have been enjoying a bunch of their recent stuff from their HD-2D games to FF7R of course. I know they have a bunch of blind spots but I do wish them well in their endeavors. Octopath especially needs a comeback because 2 was actually really good.
 
I always have a soft spot and am biased as heck regarding squeenix, heck most of the goodwill I had previously for shitstation was mostly due to square. Great to see them do well after losing the ball and chain
 
After years finally in a good spot. The multiplatform course correction paying off. Now they just need the games… hopefully they learned from ff16 to make an actual rpg next time and not a half assed action game.
