Overview
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma and STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar performed strongly
Existing online game titles remained solid with improved profitability
Indie title Japanese Rural Life published by subsidiary G-MODE became a hit
Conversely, DAEMON X MACHINA TITANIC SCION and Browser Sangokushi Ten fell short of expectations; recorded a segment loss due to a one-time write-off of game assets for Browser Sangokushi Ten
