Management Comment
Aimed at mid- and long-term growth for the Square Enix Group, we have made solid progress in our business plan set out at the beginning of the fiscal year, said Yoichi Wada, President and Representative Director.
We are pleased with the success of our FINAL FANTASY(R)XIII launch in Japan on December 17th, where we successfully shipped 1.8 million units in this market with a PlayStation(R)3 installed base of 4 million*. And, through our improved localization systems, we were able to set a March launch date in North America and Europe.
Further, our integration activities since the acquisition of U.K.-based Eidos in April are progressing rapidly and allowing us to strengthen our global business framework.
