In the Digital Entertainment segment, the HD (High-Definition) Game sub-segment's net sales for the six-month period ended September 30, 2025 declined compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year as new titles generated lower sales than releases such as three "KINGDOM HEARTS" catalog titles on Steam had the previous year. However, the sub-segment returned to profitability from an operating loss in the same period of the previous fiscal year mainly due to lower development cost amortization and advertising expenses.

In the MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) Game sub-segment, net sales and profits declined compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year as the previous year had seen the launch of "FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail," the latest expansion pack for "FINAL FANTASY XIV."

In the Games for Smart Devices/PC Browser sub-segment, net sales declined compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year mainly due to weak sales of existing titles, but profits increased mainly because payment method diversification resulted in improved profitability.

In the Amusement segment, the six-month period ended September 30, 2025 saw net sales decline compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year due to lower sales of amusement machines, but operating income was roughly flat year on year, supported by higher same-store sales and sales of prize items to amusement facilities.

In the Publication segment, net sales and operating income declined in the six-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in the number of new comic book releases.

In the Merchandising segment, the six-month period ended September 30, 2025 saw net sales and operating income rise compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, driven by the recognition of royalty income from key IP.
