Compared to the previous period, the consolidated ordinary profit is set to rise by 72% to 7 billion yen (58.52 million USD) up from earlier estimates of 4.4 billion yen (36.79 million USD). Yuri Teramoto, from Square President Youichi Wada's office, said that overseas operations are going well, with Kingdom Hearts having sold more than 600,000 copies (compared to an estimated 450,000) in the US and Final Fantasy X breaking the one million mark in Europe.
