SEGA Sammy made a minor mistake once they revealed their newest “Administration Assembly” doc detailing the assorted monetary features of the corporate. Most of it was customary stuff, reminiscent of forecasting the subsequent monetary 12 months, however on web page 25 there was an intriguing screw-up: gross sales information for 11 of their video games.
The info has now been faraway from the PDF, changed by a clean panel that merely says “Some content material is at the moment beneath adjustment.”
However the Web is a tough place to erase info from, so inside the first 0.000001 seconds, individuals had already taken a screenshot and unfold it far and vast. And right here it’s:
| Sport | FY20 | FY21 | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 | Whole |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Persona 5 Royal (Together with Remaster/Multiplat model) (Doesn’t embody P5 OG) | 1,030,000 | 700,000 | 350,000 | 1,820,000 | 1,600,000 | 1,750,000 | 7,250,000 |

Based mostly on this information, it’s very straightforward to grasp why SEGA continues to be making an attempt to trip the Persona 5 gravy prepare. 7.2m copies offered throughout the final 5 monetary years could be very spectacular. If we embody the vanilla Persona 5 (final reported in 2018 as being 3.2m copies) then Persona 5 is over the 10m mark.
One other notable sport that has quietly been performing some work is Workforce Sonic Racing, shifting 3.5m copies. No marvel there’s a sequel scheduled for this 12 months.
I additionally seen that Whole Warfare: Warhammer 3 have been surprisingly low (2.3m), even in contrast towards Whole Warfare: 3 Kingdoms. true, 3 Kingdoms had a number of further years, however I believed the Warhammer license would have counted for extra. Maybe 3 video games in that sub-series was simply an excessive amount of.
What do you guys assume? Do any of those numbers stand out to you?
