Majesco: Profitable 07 Jun, 2005, 22:30 / 11 comments


Looks like Majesco did well this financial quarter, and they've cited Psychonauts sales (woo!) and their TV plug-in retro arcade controller things as two major reasons why. Gamespot reports:
Majesco Entertainment today reported an almost $3 million increase in sales recorded for the quarter ending April 30, 2005. Citing the release of the Tim Schafer-designed Psychonauts (for the Xbox, released just 10 days before books closed on the quarter) as well as brisk sales of the $19.95 TV Arcade product line of plug-and-play games, the company took its quarter-on-quarter financials from a net loss of $49 million last year to a profit of $189,000 this year.
Good to hear Majesco listing Psychonauts as one of the reasons they had a good quarter. Many fans were (and still are) wondering what Psychonauts is doing sales-wise, after receiving a few different mixed signals. Sounds like Majesco is happy enough, whatever's going on number-wise.

    Original and fun games sell more than Star Wars? Shocking!

    I'll bet they don't, actually.

    I actually think they do

    Well then, I stand corrected.

    Glad to hear Psychonauts raked in some cash gain, but I sincerely doubt the sales came anywhere close to that Lego Star Wars game.

    Regardless, the LEGO Star Wars game is damn good!

    Hopefully they'll publish another quality game at some point in the future. The stuff at E3 was highly suspect :(

    I'm just glad Majesco's content; that's what I was mostly concerned about. Still interested in seeing the May NPD numbers, though.
