Around the Network

It's always weird to see series with such high pedigree like SMT, Persona, Etrian Odyssey and Yakuza with such low sales overall. Well, at least Persona and Yakuza have a chance of breaking out of their niche space...



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Way, football manager only has 18.1m over it's 13/14 games? I would have guessed they sold around 2m on average, not less than 1.5. This also includes the psp and "touch" games? I thought it was a much more popular series.

Etrian is also lower than I expected an average of 190k per "edition". Would have guessed closer to 300k.



Man Persona deserves so much more sales than it has.... Its not really a hidden gem (feel like people know of it), but its something so few choose to experiance...

Crazy that Persona + SMT is only 22m.

Etrian numbers hurt too abit... even though there I didnt expect much.



800 million? That has to be a typo of 80 million.

Are they counting the free iOS/android Sonic games? They do say units / downloads, after all.

Wow, that's a lot of Sonic



I would have bet that EO numbers were twice that. Geez.

Seems they’re really liberal in what they’re counting.
