What big games did Sega release last year? Seriously I can't remember. That's already a bad sign.

Telltale and Sony make sense, but Sega coming number one is surprising. Didn't they only release Yakuza this year?

Nope, they didn't. You shouldn't forget Tembo the Badass Elephant for PS4, Xbox1 and PC.



It's suprising (and shocking) to see Sega at first! At the same time is impressive that Nintendo still managed to stay on the top 10 after its worst year software-wise.

Glad to see Sony at 3rd tho, their first party output last year was scarce but pretty good actually.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Sega Published the following games in 2015 (i think that is nearly the same, or even more than Nintendo).

 

Total War Attila.

Sonic Runners.

Yakuza 0.

Stella Glow.

Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom.

Tembo: The Badass Elephant (i thought that was a indie game, but was published by Sega).

Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition.

Luigi Mansion Arcade.

7TH Dragon III Code: VFD.

Football Manager 2016.

Miracle Girls Festival.

Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 1+2 Double Pack.

Sega 3D Classic Collections.

Sonic Boom Fire & Ice.

 

Sega Being the number 1 Publisher means that maybe DreamCast 2, will become true ?,

So Sega won and Microsoft best lineup ever didn't even charted...
SEGA IS COMING BACK, THE DREAM IS ALIVE!!!!1

Well yeah, repeating something a whole bunch of times doesn't magically make it true. Too bad nobody told Microsoft that

Microsoft, is like Tomb Raider, did not even charted in the Top 10.

Sony beat nintendo? Color me shocked..
Although nintendo did have some horrible releases this year. Very uncharacteristic of the gaming giant.



Wow. Sega at number one, but for the life of me I can't think of any games they published this year. Also it is sad to not see Nintendo in the Top 5 but releasing stuff like Amiibo Festival and Devil's Third will knock you down a few pegs in this regard.



Yeah I thought the reason why MS wasn't on the list was because they didn't release enough games. Because I was going to say I know MS games scored better than most of those on that list.



Sony better than ninty now?

Actually, regarding Microsoft, they did pretty well. Looking at the full list here http://www.metacritic.com/feature/game-publisher-rankings-for-2015-releases

They scored more points than any of those on the list in the OP, however they didn't release enough games to make that list so they are on the mid-sized publisher list instead.
