In essence, Sega transitions into a mobile/PC publisher while Atlus remains mainly as their console-centered development.In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, the number of newly launched titles distributed domestically in the field of digital game software is planned to be 47 (including 1 Pay-to-play type and 46 Free-to-play types).
In the packaged game software field, the Group is working on rationalization mainly in overseas and will build a structure in which revenue can be created with stability. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, the Group will launch new titles mainly for the Group’s mainstay IP including “Persona5” which will be the latest title from the Persona series boasting over 6 million total copies sold along with implementing transitions of IP for packaged games such as “Total War” series into digital games mainly in overseas.
Not exactly amazing, in fact I think it's poor for a Sonic title, but better than some were probably expecting.Originally Posted by Crimsonclaw111
Isn't that both Sonic titles lumped together? Isn't that bad per SKU? Or is it actually good?
It was getting a bit repetitive through the middle and an unnecessarily long game. Still, retro scifi art and sound design was top notch.Originally Posted by Monty Mole
Still confused as to why Alien Isolation suffered from both a critical and commercial mediocre response.
It's a good, well polished game. Perhaps it would have done better being released at a less busy time of year.
That's a pretty aggressive estimate for Persona 5.Originally Posted by vinnygambini
Odd that Total War: Attila is not included in their best sellers list; though it mentions packaged games in the header so I guess it's not considered as such due to it being mostly digital?
Sega's expecting over 7 million packaged sales for this fiscal-year.
Persona Dancing and Persona 5 are most likely 500k and 2.5 million respectively
That leaves 4 million on the table.

Oh yeah, never said that it was good. I just remember how its sales were really horrible at first.I think that's the worst a "major" Sonic game has ever done. Lost World did 710k.
To answer my own question; Isolation passed 1 million sales in January. Seems like a pretty good sales tail, although we have to factor price drops into that. It's been £15-£20 here in the UK for months.Originally Posted by Triggerhappytel
That's really great. Wasn't it only at 1 million about three months ago?
I hope it's enough for a sequel. Such a great game and I'll be there day one for a sequel.
It actually reviewed very well overall if you actually analyse the scores. The issue was a couple of bigger sites put out decidedly poorly constructed reviews who grumbled about what the game wasn't vs what is was and couldn't handle manual checkpoints and losing progress if they fucked up.Originally Posted by Monty Mole

It's a niche genre, has issues with mass appeal. It probably also could have been shorter.Originally Posted by Monty Mole

It may seem on the high-end, but I think the numbers may skew higher due to it being available on 2 platforms (PS3, PS4); though my estimate takes in consideration a holiday release for all territories, which might not be the case. We'll see.That's a pretty aggressive estimate for Persona 5.
That said, their other known retail titles this year would be Total Warhammer and Football Manager.
I'm assuming a Sonic product is coming too.
Not a bad number after a few months for an expansion to a game that seemingly wasn't very well received. Though the Steam user rating is higher than I thought it would be so might be a case of a very vocal minority.Originally Posted by texhnolyze
Total War : Attila is around 300k-ish according to Steamspy.
Sweet Jesus. CA doing a solo Predator game based on the first movie with a few liberties. The graphics. The score. The first quarter could be a more straight fire fight between you and the hostage takers before descending into a battle of wits vs the Predator. I waaaaaaaaant!I'm just hoping for either an Alien Isolation sequel or a solo Predator game.
There's so many options for a GOOD solo Predator game.
Mediocre? It got plenty of praise. Was on quite a few critics' GOTY lists. Even if you care only about review scores than reading, it sat at around 80 which is good. Alien Isolation selling more than 2 million copies, a pretty hardcore stealth horror game made by Creative Assembly not used to making such immersive games, is frankly amazing.Originally Posted by Monty Mole

It surely didn't help and of course SEGA branding was on both which diluted sense AI was from a different developer.Originally Posted by liquidtmd
I think anecdotally also Isolation suffered a tiny bit in terms of Colonial Marines being a shitfest and people aware of the Alien brand being a bit hesitant as a result.
It is in the list of content that is being shown on Vive, so it almost certainly is comingOriginally Posted by Auto-Reply
Before the news of Segas restructuring I was hoping to see a patch for Alien Isolation further down the road, now optimized for VR I don't think I will hear anything from that direction regarding Sega :(
I hope so. I would kill for a Dawn of War 3 announcement this year, but I am also worried it will be a case of be careful what you wish for and we get some kind of f2p 40k game instead. Oh the horror just thinking about it.I wonder if we hear anything from Relic soon. They should be close to revealing their new game.
That just depends on the budget. I would hazard a guess considering the game's design and a team of around 120, at like $40 million?Originally Posted by SmartBase
Pretty good figures for Isolation, the question is whether or not they expected an unrealistic number of units sold like the morons at Square Enix did with some of their titles. Hope it's enough for them to greenlight a sequel.
