SEGA has released their Q3 2020 fiscal results, and things aren't exactly rosy on the console side of things. SEGA's major console releases during the quarter were Persona 5 Royal, Sakura Wars, and Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

While SEGA didn't share specific sales data for Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, they did say that their console game sales “went below expectation,” and that console game profits decreased year-on-year due to the increased expenses associated with the launch of these new games. All in all, revenue increased 26% for the “Packaged Games” segment, but profits dropped 43% compared to the year prior.
