Forums - Gaming - Speculation regarding SEGA's games for the upcoming FY

Recently, somewhere round VGChartz (though I don't remember where), we discussed this table about SEGA's games for the upcoming Financial Year.  Much chatter was had an it was interesting to note that PS3 & Wii-U had exactly 7 SKU's each.  

After today's announcements, where do you think that stands?

Point to consider:  I'm not aware of the legitimacy of this claim myself, but a few people were saying that the "SKU" part of this chart referred to separate stock-keeping-units in different parts of the world.  Going by what games were announced today:

- Sonic Wii-U

- Mario & Sonic Wii-U

- Yakuza Wii-U

That seems to fall exactly in line with the 7 SKU's given on the chart.  The first two games (the Sonic platformer + Mario & Sonic) would have 3 SKU's each across NA/EU/JP; while Yazkua HD would be JP only = 7.

Of course, I'm not entirely sure that's exactly how it works, so if you're an optimist then you could potentially believe that there are 4 more SEGA games coming to Wii-U in the upcoming FY, which is exactly the same amount that 360 has.  

So potentially, if these are just referring to individual games, then we've got 4 multi-plats across PS360U.  That still leaves 3 more games to be announced for PS3.  We know what one of those games is (which also counts for 1 of the 5 on Vita); but that still leaves potentially another two to be announced.

So, any thoughts?

 

tl;dr - SEGA are either bringing all of their multi-plats to Wii-U this year and still have a couple of exclusive announcements coming to PS3; or we've seen 100% of the SEGA announcements for Wii-U for the upcoming year.

My guess is that both Mario & Sonic and Sonic: Lost World are probably being published/distributed by Nintendo and thus not counted in that report.



You have it right. SKU is not games but the amount of times they will be releasing in a sense. We know of 3 of SEGA games but the oddball thing is that they have another unannounced sonic in development which is unaccounted-for in their SKU plan for Wii U but it could be digital ad they aren't counted.



Well.

1. when we take a look at the top row it says # of titles (SKU).
So yeah there are not 7 games in the works at Sega for the WiiU, but 7 SKUs.

2. Badgenome is somewhat right. Mario & Sonic games are published by Nintendo, however only in Japan. The rest is published by SEGA (and the whole game is done by a SEGA studio).
I don't think that Sonic Lost World is going to be Nintendo published.

It will be in EU/AUS, at least.

Hmm, didn't know that.  That changes everything!

So Yakuza HD for Japan
Sonic & Mario in America
Sonic Lost World in America

Still 4 SKUs left (at best).

Though honestly, since all of them are Sega developed... not sure if they really count it that way.

They might not, I'm not sure. But they only seem to be counting physical releases, not digital ones, so I think they're only counting things that they are publishing or distributing at retail themselves and not every single thing they're developing.

Yeah would make sense.
Digital releases really don't seem to be on there or else they would've included The Cave for WiiU on top of the US and EU releases of Sonic All-Stars Racing.
Which means that there are 2 360 games left, that don't release in Japan and are (most likely) multiplat. So these would probably release on WiiU as well.
PS3 gets something extra (a Yakuza Western release is certainly a possibility)
