Going strong

For the Network Entertainment segment, which includes mobile games, the company posted sales of $1.72 billion, an increase of 22.1% year-on-year.

It didn't break out mobile sales separately, but pointed to Japan-only The iDOLM@ASTER Cindrella Girls: Starlight Stage and the global success of Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle as key in its mobile figures.

Bandai Namco did however post sales of $189.1 million for the Dragon Ball IP overall. The franchise has not seen a major release this fiscal year, suggesting healthy sales from live ops of Dokkan Battle.
