Sega Lowers Its Financial Projections

by Nick Dowell

Today, Sega Sammy Holdings adjusted its projected financial earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 to 377 billion yen, 108 billion less than its previously expected 485 billion. The company says the reasoning for this decrease is "postponing the sales schedule of pachislot machines to the next fiscal year."

In the report, the company talked about how, despite the fact the machines were sluggish, "Sales in the Digital Games Business were robust..." Credit for this success is given to Phantasy Star Online 2 for PC and Vita (and iOS and Android this year), and Puyopuyo!! Quest and CHAIN CHRONICLE on iOS and Android.
