GungHo's sales for the 1st quarter of 2014 amounted to $499 million

From January to March this year, sales of the Japanese company GungHo, which created the highest-grossing mobile game in the world Puzzle & Dragons, amounted to almost half a billion dollars.

This is 61.5% more than in 2013. The company's operating profit amounted to $288 million, which is 54.6% more than the same results last year. If we compare the financial results with the 4th quarter of 2013, they also increased: sales increased by 6.6%, operating profit by 27%.

Puzzle & Dragons continues to be the highest-grossing game in Japan. In terms of the amount of money earned, she is beyond competitors in the world – in February it became known that her total earnings for the entire time of her existence on the market amounted to $ 1 billion.

The game is also doing well with downloads – it has currently been downloaded more than 27 million times (more than 25 million users have downloaded the game in Japan alone).

However, the company does not focus on one project. However, downloads of other games of the company are still noticeably lagging behind the indicators of Puzzle & Dragons.
