This retreat from video games was reversed following a downturn in their amusements business with an increase in traditional games output and a focus on mobile titles. This has proven to be one of the company’s saving graces in a disappointing quarter. > In the three months from April to June, Konami has brought in ¥56.5 billion in revenue, a 3.4% year-on-year fall. The primary cause of this is within the amusements segment, which has fallen a staggering 50.6%, from ¥6.6bn to just ¥3.3bn. Sports has also fallen slightly, 3.7%, though the Digital Entertainment (video games) and Gaming & Systems (gambling) segments have both seen an increase, helping to mitigate the drop within the amusements segment.
