Eidos purchase sees Square Enix post loss
But something wicked this way comes...
Having acquired Eidos (and Tomb Raider, Hitman, et al) for a whopping 117 million USD (or thereabouts), Square Enix's financial results have taken something of a hit.
The firm lost 1.67 billion Yen during the quarter ending June 30th, or about 10.4 million GBP, if you prefer.
Over this quarter, sales at the Final Fantasy developer dropped 1.2 percent over last year's performance, although overall games division sales were still up 7.2 percent, thanks for Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy XI: Online.
Of course, with Final Fantasy XIII scheduled for release in Japan this side of Christmas, the future can't help but be bright for the firm, especially given the more recent success the firm has enjoyed with the latest Dragon Quest release on the DS. More soon.
