Sega parent Sega Sammy Holdings has revised its fiscal projections for the business year ended March 31, 2010.
The Japanese company lowered its revenue projection, partly due to “weak” overseas game sales, but raised its profit forecast on improved margins in its pachinko and arcade operations.
It now expects to generate revenue of 380 billion yen ($4.1b / £2.65b), down from its original forecast of 420 billion yen ($4.53b / £2.93b), and profit of 18 billion yen ($194.2m / £125.6m), up 20 per cent from 15 billion yen ($161.8m / £104.7m).
“Stagnant” game sales in North America saw the company reduce its full year software sales forecast from 29.7 million units to 26.3 million.
