Not all Japanese companies are doing well. DeNA’s revenues in the first fiscal quarter ended for the publisher on June 30 fell by 31% compared to the same period last year.
On the other hand, the amount earned by the company is still very serious: in total, from the calendar May to June 2014, the publisher of Blood Brothers earned $349 million, $278 million of which is the merit of the company’s mobile business.
But the operating income (production profit) was only $68 million. This is 59% less than last year for the same period of time.
The decline in the company’s revenue can be explained by the prolonged lack of hits, as well as the agony of the mobile browser games market, where DeNA’s positions have always been very strong. However, the president and CEO of DeNA, Isao Moriyasu, told the Wall Street Journal that the company has a strong product line, they say, there is no need to worry.
