FY3/2023

Q2 - https://www.installbaseforum.com/forums/threads/sega-sammy-q2-fy3-2023-financial-results.1162/
 
Persona series sold 2.04M in the quarter despite P5R being "only" 1.3M.

What other games in the series could push a extra 700k in the quarter? P3 and P4 came out in 2023.
 
Probably Persona 4 Golden PC as the main contributor and then P5S. They seemingly both got boosted by the June reveal of the Persona games (Q2 sales increased a lot vs Q1).

Yeah, checking SteamDB that seems to be it.

P4G got a increase in its daily peak since June, which was when it got a sale (-25%, the last one before that was in december 2021). And then in November it had a even better sale (-35%).

P5S also had a boost in the last quarter with its best sales so far (-60%, a sale in each month of the quarter).

I'm glad Sonic Frontiers is having good legs, hopefully it manages to get to 5 million one day.
 
This is from their earnings release:
In the consumer area, for Full Game, the Group released "Sonic Frontiers", "Persona 5 Royal (Remaster)", "Football Manager 2023", etc. as new titles, leading to sales of 20,750 thousand copies (21,970 thousand copies for the same period in the previous fiscal year). "Sonic Frontiers" performed steady start with worldwide sales exceeding 2,900
thousand copies as of the end of December 2022. Meanwhile, sales of catalog titles were sluggish. For F2P, "Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat. Hatsune Miku" continued to strongly perform.

Look at my Sales Per Software Unit table posted earlier where there are forecasts listed since they revised down their software sales and software units.
 
Persona series sold 2.04M in the quarter despite P5R being "only" 1.3M.

What other games in the series could push a extra 700k in the quarter? P3 and P4 came out in 2023.

The way SEGA does this unit sales chart gets misinterpreted a lot and that causes scenarios like this where numbers don't logically add up. Basically, 2.04M is through Q3 meaning it's over a period of 9 months (Q1 through to Q3). For the 3rd quarter alone, you'd have to subtract the Q2 sales which are 500K. This means that the other games pushed roughly 240K units in Q3 alone.

Hope this clears it up
 
It’s time to a RPG (in the bases of super Mario RPG) with Mario and Sonic together, in a word who mixes Nintendo e Sega.
 
Maybe the 3m announcement by the Director on stream ?


Great stuff from frontiers. At this point, with the sales we’ve seen so far along with the roadmap shown for DLC, 5-6 million is a lock imo. Makes me wonder what other sonic games could have sold faster than this though…
 
I remember some one discovering (leaking?) that Forces also did several million in the end but maybe it was on the Discord?
 
I found it, listed a few titles.

Yakuza LAD: 1.6m
Total War 3K: 2.7m
Sonic Forces: 3.6m
From what quarter are these numbers from?
Forces seems a bit higher than I expected. Something in the high 2.5-3.5 million range was what I was expecting when accounting for that it was the only 3D Sonic on current gen consoles until Colors Ultimate and that it was regularly discounted to quite low.

Just under a year ago, they're lifetime.
