However, its Digital segment (which includes games) saw net sales fall 15.6% to ¥90.9 billion and operating profit drop 30.9% to ¥15 billion, attributed to fewer title releases versus the prior year period. Home Console Game unit sales fell from 10.8 million to 6.9 million, with only two new titles released versus 15 in the prior quarter. Upcoming releases include Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve (October 2, 2026), Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 (2027), and Gundam Rogue Orbit (2027). The company revised its half-year Digital Contents forecast upward by 10% to ¥200 billion in sales, though this still represents a 31.5% year-on-year decrease. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
