On the eve of the launch of its flagship game Final Fantasy XV, Square Enix reported earnings that showed good revenue growth but lower profit margins.
Tokyo-based Square Enix said its revenues for the six months ending September 30 were ¥106,347 million ($1.01 billion), up 23 percent from the same period a year earlier. But operating income was ¥11,115 million, or $106 million, down 11.7 percent. The release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Rise of the Tomb Raider for the PlayStation 4 helped drive sales for console games up 30 percent in the quarter.
