Square Enix reports that despite declining sales, profits are up

The quarterly financial report for Square Enix has been published, giving us new information to pour over. The data shows that net sales for the company are down, by 8.9% year-on-year. Square's reasoning for the dip in overall sales is due to the Kingdom Hearts ports on Steam and the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in the prior quarter overshadowing the lineup from this most recent financial quarter.

Despite the decrease in sales, Square Enix still made more money overall, as a result of, "lower development cost amortization, advertising expenses, and content valuation losses compared with the same period of the previous year." Recent ports to the PC platform have also been a massive success for the company, leading to a more hopeful outlook towards its future releases, which include Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles, Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake, and Octopath Traveler 0.

He never said the Switch 2 would fail, he said it would sell less that the Switch 1.

And he is right, not only are the Switch 2 sales worse rhat Nintendo expected but the average Switch 2 owner... has at most two Switch 2 games and that's counting people who bought the console at release.
ah yes, the second fastest selling console in the US in one year behind the Game Boy Advance, and still fastest selling console overall is failing and selling less than the predecesor even when they arn't pulling a Sony and actually both showing the proof (showing actual Sell-Through in the investment report and not using Sell-in alone) and people who actually do sales anyalitics doing thier job painting the picture that lines up with said anylitics, the "I only said it will sell less, not completely fail!" just a way to move goalpoasts on his end in an attempt to keep the gravy train rolling and you should feel shame for giving him more watch time

Fast selling doesn't matter long term but total sales do. The Tamagochis were fast selling for two years outside of Japan anz then no one outside Japan cared anymore and theb the things were on sale outside Japan.

Nintendo literally had to reduce the number of Switch 2s beings made due to low sales and games sales are abysmal. Even Xbox players buy more games that Switch 2 owners and that's with Xbox having Gamepass.
