Square Enix has revealed their financial earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31 2009. Unsurprisingly net income was down by 31% from 9,196 Million Yen in the previous year to 6,333 Million Yen. This was to be expected.

Other enlightening figures are the amount of profit, and sales the company receives from it's home territory alone. The company made 133,381 Million Yen (gross total) in Japan in the fiscal year ending March 2008, and 121,590 Million Yen (gross total) this fiscal year. The rest of the world accounted for approximately 20,000 Million Yen in both years.

Interesting figures, which should explain why everyone expects Final Fantasy 13 to do better on the PS3 when it is released exclusively in Japan later this year (hopefully).
