Square Enix has declared its financials for the nine months to December 31st 2010. We'd imagine several key executives are eyeing up escape routes.The raw facts (which you can see in
full here) are:
Net Sales to December 31, 2010: ¥98,183m down 27.5% from 2009's ¥135,431m.
Net Income to December 31, 2010: ¥1,821m down 76.6% from 2009's ¥7,797m
The financials also noted that, "During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2010, while “DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: Joker 2” released in April and “Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days” released in August became million sellers, the segment experienced weakness in sales of console games."
