Alien Isolation managed to sell over 2.1 million units, but Sega still felt its game sales were “weak” over the past fiscal year.

As reported by Game Industry, Sega has announced its most recent financial report for the last fiscal year. Sega management felt its game sales were “weak” even though business improved from last year.

Sega managed to sell 12.3 million game units over the last financial year. Even though Alien Isolation sold 2.1 million units, this was not enough to satisfy the company. They hoped the game’s sales would have been higher.

Alien Isolation wasn’t the only game that Sega felt under-performed. The two Sonic Boom games released on Wii U and 3DS collectively sold only 620,000 units. This ranks as one of the lowest selling main entry Sonic games of all time.

Business for Sega actually improved year-on-year. Packaged games rose by 41 percent year-on-year and revenue was up by 11 percent. Despite this, the company is still not confident on releasing many AAA games in the near future. It was announced recently the company will not have its own booth at E3 2015.

Sonic Boom selling anything at all should be a surprise...

2.1 million is considered weak now? Jesus

And what on earth were they expecting from Sanic Boom? Like the game is so bad

I hope Sega leaves the game market soon and sells all their IPs to people who can make good games.

The problem with Alien Isolation is that it was too long for it's own good. It was a great game but it went on for longer than I would've liked, and they'd be happier with sales with a shorter but cheaper game.

alien isolation was awesome

If 2.1 million sales are considered weak that's completely Sega's fault.

2.1M = Weak.

Wat.

Would help if they start telling us average selling price too. I thought the game dropped in price quite fast. 2 million plus sales at full retail price generates substantially higher revenue than a very discounted one.

Some of these big (semi-big?) Japanese game publishers seem more mismanaged than Western ones.

Sega is only happy when they are stealing grampas lifetime savings through their F2P phone games.

Old Sega didnt deserve this.
