As usual, Sega posts the Japanese version of the Annual Report first, here's the link (this is the annual report 2022): Edit: English version posted

Sega has added another platform category to their IPs which I have labelled as Pictures until they release the English version of the report. Edit: See latest post #8 for change to platform name.

[Kenka]

OP's title is a textbook example of when one shouldn't use relative figures. Oh Sega...

 

[Megiddo]

Seeing +Infinity% made me chuckle. Still, it's good to see Yakuza was pretty much flat despite not even having a game released this fiscal year.

 

[fiendcode]

PSO2/NG added 0 new players this year?

I wish Sega would separate paid and f2p/f2s numbers. We could estimate some titles better that way.

Still, it's good to see Yakuza was pretty much flat despite not even having a game released this fiscal year.

There were also no releases in the 1H last FY. Just catalog sales in both cases so being flat makes some sense.

edit: Would SH2 be included under SMT series? Maybe it didn't do quite so terrible as the figures should be mostly that plus SMTV/III HD catalog?

 

[MegaXZero]

edit: Would SH2 be included under SMT series? Maybe it didn't do quite so terrible as the figures should be mostly that plus SMTV/III HD catalog?

No this report is for last fiscal year that ended March 2022. The quarter SH2 is in is reported at the end of October.

 

[fiendcode]

No this report is for last fiscal year that ended March 2022. The quarter SH2 is in is reported at the end of October.

Oh, I had the dates entirely wrong, I thought it was 1H this FY.

So is it through Q3 last FY or the full year?

 

[MegaXZero]

Oh, I had the dates entirely wrong, I thought it was 1H this FY.

So is it through Q3 last FY or the full year?

It is the full fiscal year.

 

[ggx2ac]

Sega has uploaded the English version of the integrated report:

https://www.segasammy.co.jp/english/ir/library/pdf/printing_annual/2022/ir_2022_web_all_e.pdf

I have also updated my webpage to reflect the differences:
- added link to English version of report
- changed platform name "Pictures" to "Movies" since that is what you'll see in the English report.

 

[ggx2ac]

Let this sink in:

Sega reported that the Sonic series has 5.8M units in Full Game sales for FY3/22.

Sega reported in their Annual Report for FY3/22 that the Sonic IP accrued 130M units which the total for the IP is 1.51B units.

Only approximately 4.5% of that 130M units number actually comes from Sonic games on consoles/PC.
