In most cases, we seldom receive valuable sales data from publishers, unless a particular title has exceeded expectations remarkably. However, an unexpected find – some data accidentally uploaded by SEGA – caught our attention because it provides insights into the actual market performance of several games.
Here’s all of the data, as archived by ResetEra:
- Persona 5 Royal (including Remaster version): 7.25m
- Sonic Frontiers: 4.57m
- Team Sonic Racing: 3.50m
- Total War: Three Kingdoms: 3.21m
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon: 2.86m
- Sonic Superstars: 2.43m
- Total War: Warhammer III: 2.34m
- Shin Megami Tensei V (including Vengeance): 2.11m
- Persona 3 Reload: 2.07m
- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth: 1.66m
- Like a Dragon: The Man Who Erased His Name: 0.96m
Initially, our team considered Final Fantasy 16, which has faced criticism for being a flop in sales. However, it’s important to remember that budgets and objectives can vary greatly between projects. When considering its performance on a single platform, selling over three million units within just a few days isn’t so dismal when compared to multi-format releases.
Despite predictions suggesting that spin-off game Like a Dragon: The Man Erasing His Name wouldn’t do exceptionally well, its full sequel, Like a Dragon: Infinite Fortune, has fallen short of expectations, selling only 1.66 million copies.
It’s intriguing to witness the might of Sonic: who would have thought that Team Sonic Racing, a game that seemed to lack recognition and affection, would perform so exceptionally well? Similarly gratifying is the success of Sonic Frontiers, which seems to provide a solid foundation for the Blue Blur’s future. However, it’s likely that this game managed to sell so many copies due to hefty discounts.
Regardless, every project comes with unique budgets and objectives. Therefore, it’s essential to remember that judging success or failure can be complex, but it’s undeniably thought-provoking to observe such clear financial details presented in this manner.
