Square Enix Back In Black, Thanks Deus Ex: Human Revolution And FFXIII-2

Posted on Monday, May 14 @ 14:31:41 Eastern by

After an approximately net income loss of $150 million (¥12 billion) last year, Square Enix is thankfully back in the black for this fiscal year with an approximate net income gain of $75 million (¥6 billion).

The company's net sales, operating income, and recurring income have increased since last year, and Yoichi Wada, President and Representative Director for Square Enix, gives credit to their sales of Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, in a statement accompanying the report by PRNewswire:
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the Group's results were favorable due to increased sales of console games boosted by our major titles, DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION (North America, Europe and Japan, in order of release) and FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 (Japan, North America and Europe, ditto), as well as continued expansion of content from growth areas such as the web and smartphones.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we continued our efforts aimed at increasing profitability, including establishing best practices for the content in said growth areas, improving quality of our major online game, and strengthening our global structure. We are accelerating the reformation to generate a substantial earnings improvement in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 and beyond.

    If the future looks like DXHR and not FF XIII, then I'm fine.

    You want the future to be a dystopia dominated by cyborgs and secretly controlled by the Illuminati?

    Oh Square, if only you knew what profit would be like if you released a proper Final Fantasy once and for all in this console generation.

    Guess, Square-Enix did the smart thing and acquired Eidos for those western audiences.

    It's all about smart acquisitions and well-times releases. DXHR was an excellently paced product, from inception to release, something I never expected from Square. FFXIII-2 even found a window for itself. Congrats Square.

    ...I'm sure publishing the Call of Duty games has nothing to do with it. Totally. Couldn't be, it's silly to think such a thing.
