SEGA's Net Sales drop by 42% in latest financial report

[Luma Party]

The economy still remained in the condition requiring further time for full recovery due to uncertainty towards a downswing in overseas economies arising from factors such as the slowdown of growth in the economies of emerging countries and European debt crisis,

SEGA's most recent financial earnings report was not a wholly positive one.

Reporting a decrease of 42 percent in net sales, the publisher reports sales earnings of ¥52.9 billion ($426 million), operating losses of ¥9.5 billion ($76 million), and net losses of ¥7.9 billion ($63.8 million).

It’s looking like their recent shift to mobile and PC wasn’t such a great idea after all.

Sonic's expression says it all.

Sega needs to realize you can't just jump into the mobile and PC market and expect to be popular right away. It's sad to see a company that was once up so high, can be in such a bad situation, even with it being merged with a huge pachinko company.

Not any I know of.
Sonic Lost World was the last decent game from SEGA, strangely got 50-60 percent ratings though and that was 2013

Dear Mr. Sakurai, If you're reading this...

What does this have to do with Sakurai?
Sonic was in Smash because of SEGA being one of the few companies to give support to Nintendo during these lower years.

I heard that Aliens: Isolation game was pretty good, but that's about it, though.

A shame, though. I recently got Sonic 2 on my phone and saw how great they once were. Sigh...

Sonic 2, 1 and CD all feel way better using an actual controller, I know that since I have them all on my iPad, and have played them on the Sega Genesis, you should try it some day.

Aw, don't worry; I'm sure they'll find plenty of new opportunities for work; I'm sure the CIA would really appreciate their talents in mind control and stop all the terrorists from there.
