($65.0 million) in sales, 24.1 billion KRW ($22.3 million) in
operating profit, and 22.4 billion KRW ($20.7 million) in

and Kingdom Royale, third party titles including Punch Hero,
Monster Warlord, and Cartoon Wars helped solidify the quarter's
performance. Whereas third party titles accounted for only 23% of

44%.
