At the same time, operating profit increased by 28.3% to $189 million. The company attributed the profit growth to six new releases that sold 6.57 million copies over the year (down from 9.23 million last year). Instead, Sega's old games are showing growth - 24.87 million copies against 18.66 million last year, which brought in 29.6% more profit.

Among the most successful recent releases, the company noted Sonic X Shadow Generations, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Sega also said that the cancellation of Football Manager 25 could have significantly hit revenues if not for the support from new hits and DLC for old titles.
