So SEGA just dropped a few updated sales figures in their investor's meeting today that they've since taken down (pg 25 of their slideshow won't display it but someone managed to snag it and I saved the image.)

Several interesting updates!

For starters, Persona 5 Royal's total sales are now at 7.25 million, it's the highest selling game on this list. Additionally, Persona 3 Reload sits at 2.07 million units sold. Looks like Persona 4 Revival has some promising trends in its favor. Everything looks great for Atlus' cash cow franchise... (Now where's Persona 6?!?)

As for everyone's favorite AND most hated blue hedgehog - Sonic Frontiers at 4.57 million units, which puts it at just 10k under Sonic Heroes for the best-selling 3D game in the franchise. Additionally, we got Team Sonic Racing at 3.5 million, pretty encouraging for Crossworlds, and Sonic Superstars, despite its mild reception critically and commercially at launch, managed to 2.43 million units.

The Yakuza/Like a Dragon series is also showing some pretty strong returns as well.

When you consider the history of Persona/SMT, 7.25 million for Persona 5 Royal is insane. The Sonic titles are doing well too.

3.5m for Team Sonic Racing is not bad at all considering its lukewarm reception; good thing too as it means we're now getting Crossworlds.

And that's just Royal. That's not counting the plain old, vanilla version of Persona 5.

With those numbers from Sonic, especially Frontiers + the report that Sonic Team was getting a bigger budget to work with AND the success of SxSG and the 3rd movie... Makes me (cautiously) optimistic about what the next 3D game is going to look like.

Sonic Superstars did 2.43 Million so far, and they think it's disappointing?

I honestly think it's really fine considering it's not a very ambitious project.

Crossworlds looks insane, and it has a very good hype around it.

I think it will blast past Team Sonic Racing in sales.

Yeah it does look like a significantly better game, and the crossovers like Minecraft, Persona, Miku, etc should broaden its appeal.

Really looking forward to it myself.

I think it's remarkable that Total War: Three Kingdoms has sold much better than Total War: Warhammer III. Yes, Three Kingdoms is way older at this point, but Warhammer is what everyone seems to have been thrilled about probably since the first game came out. There even seems to be less interest in historical games in the series due to Warhammer. I guess this must be the power of the Chinese market. On the other hand, support for Three Kingdoms was cut short despite the great sales, probably due to poor DLC sales, which is a pity.

There was a time SMT never broke a million and was super niche that most the games never left Japan and the ones that did had such small print runs in the PS1/PS2 era if you did not get them day one. Tough luck. Yakuza was selling in the 10's of thousands in the west and with 5 being digital only on PS3 in the west. That series was about done for the west. Insane how it has all turned around. Now even stuff like Raidou and Ishin are widely available.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth at 1.6M? It deserves way more. Awesome game.
