Sega Quarterly report

Shipment was another 130k for the quarter (Why!!!!!!???????)

Now 620k Lifetime :O

Sonic Lost World i think did a little over 700k. Man how close in sales these 2 games are. :-/

That game is a mess, and bam! Im amazed tbh

: ( Usually I should be happy, but I can't really in this case...

Yeah, they couldn't have spent more than what they earned making the games.

Sonic Boom Sold More than Persona 4 Ultimax?

Sonic Boom is a sales success while dozens of other titles barely make any money. Sad.

Honestly, I don't get all the hate for Sonic Boom. I've played both games back to back, and enjoyed myself while playing them. Where they the best Sonic games? No. Were they good games. No... Were they really Sonic games... Sheesh, shouldn't ask myself such difficult questions. But the BOOM games were definitely not the worst games ever made. They worked. And they made me think back of all those mediocre PS2/Gamecube platformers I played as a tween. You could say the levels are a bit empty of things to do, but... as I've said: they're just mediocre games. No high budget. No big expectations. Just collecting blueprints, crystals, and other stuff.

What more, I didn't encounter a single game breaking bug. Maybe other people have, but for me it wasn't more buggy than playing Watch_Dogs or Batman Arkham Origins on WiiU (okay maybe not the BEST examples). Yes, there was some lag and screen tearing, but not even as bad as the other two games I mentioned.

Anyways, I'm not saying the BOOM games were great, only that I enjoyed them. Yes, I bought both of them... but I also bought Bayonetta 2 (and 1), the Wonderful 101, ZombiU, Sonic Lost World, Raymand Legends, etc. on WiiU. I just like playing games on my Nintendo systems and I am happy some publishers are (were) still making them, other than Nintendo.

You may think Sonic Boom is indicative of what is wrong with the games biz, but I'm just happy that some pubishers are (were) willing to create non-tripple A games with their franchises that aren't mobile titles. AAA is a tricky bussiness, and we've seen many publishers go under because of the risks involved.

I'd rather try play a B game (50-60% rating) than see yet another publisher go under because of the AAA business. I enjoyed Sonic Boom and I'm happy it did moderately well.

LET THE HATING COMENCE! XD

That was the general problem with sega since the megadrive

This isn't good news really. Not good at all i think.

I don't mean to play devils advocate, but its good news. Maybe this means that Sega will take a sequel seriously and actually devote a full team to make Sonic Boom 2. The TV show is airing and my nephew and niece love it. They watch it every saturday morning from the DVR when they wake up on saturday morning.

"No Matter What Thats a Huge Success"

Only "lets play" videos Ive seen of it is from people playing it because its so bad its funny.
It ll be a couple of guys takeing turns playing it, while giggleing at how poorly its done.

I refuse to call games like that a success.
