In the Digital Entertainment segment, the HD (High-Definition) Game subsegment, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 saw the release of "CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- REUNION," "FORSPOKEN," and "OCTOPATH TRAVELER II." However, because new titles generated fewer earnings than in the previous year, which had seen the launch of "OUTRIDERS," "NieR Replicant" and "Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy," the sub-segment’s net sales declined versus the previous fiscal year.

Net sales declined versus the previous fiscal year in the MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) Game sub-segment, in part because of the lack of any expansion pack launches for "FINAL FANTASY XIV."

The Games for Smart Devices/PC Browser sub-segment saw a decline in net sales versus the previous fiscal year because of weak performances by existing titles.In the Amusement segment, net sales and operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 rose versus the previous year because of sharp year-on-year increase in same-store sales.

In the Publication segment, sales of both digital and print media were solid in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, but higher prices on printing paper and other inputs led to higher costs. This, combined with other factors such as increased advertising expenses led to a year-on-year decline in operating income.

In the Merchandising segment, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 saw brisk sales of products including new character merchandise based on major intellectual properties. However, while net sales rose versus the previous fiscal year, operating income declined, partly due to changes in the sales mix by product.
