Note: SKU count is per region. So one game releasing in three regions = 3 SKUs.

Dat PC sales domination.
It boggles the mind why they haven't deigned to port over their console franchises over to the platform bringing them the most unit sales for the past full fiscal year. They're missing out on a huge potential revenue stream right there.
Hopefully they're more amenable to the PC ports campaign. Bah, who am I kidding, the segregation will continue.

They calculate SKUs by region, so if they release four games in three regions and then one game only in Japan they would report that as "13".
This is down a bit, but not horrifically, especially given game quality.
Well they haven't mention the Warhammer game they announced nearly 2 years ago in forever. It's about time CA showed it to the world. Then there is Relic.

Wow, looks like a huge increase in 3DS games planned (or at least localised stuff).

Whats the 1 PS4 game?
Ah I see, it still looks like their output is increasing though.

Probably Yakuza Ishin.
Valkyria Chronicles 123 :lol
Yes, regardless of what way we look at it, it's definitely increasing.
Alien I think.
Edit: Or did you mean the one from this quarter? In that case Yakuza.
Yakuza.
Seems like they have 3 PS4 games lined up until March 2015. Interested in seeing what they are.
Aliens Infestation (NA)
Aliens Infestation (EU)
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd (JP) or Yakuza 6 (JP)
SEGA counts regional releases in that SKU number.

Alien should make at least 2/3 if them.

Oh Aliens, totally forgot about that.
Makes sense.
Is 710k WW good for a Sonic game? I thought it bombed and everyone forgot about it.
Also, start bringing EVERYTHING to PC, Sega.
My guess is about none. All they have to do is set it in another time period (which is a given) and no one will even think about Rome 2's launch.

Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed (JP)
Sonic Boom (EU)
Sonic Boom (NA)
Hope they don't plan on releasing Sonic Boom in Japan.

Probably sold the most copies on the 3DS lol. Definitely bombed on the WiiU.
I wonder what 3DS game they expect to do so well. PS3 and 3DS look pretty high, but with Persona included then it makes sense for PS3 (and I guess the next RGG/Yakuza will be multiplat too).
4 SKUs != 4 games.

Sonic boom will be 3 of those SKU's. Oh and All stars racing JP. So no new games.
They have Rome 2 and Company of Heroes 2 doing well on the PC- both are hardcore PC games in franchises and from developers that have a long history on the PC, and that offer something that is increasingly hard to find on the PC these days: Strategy games with big production values.
Just because those tailor-made for PC games sell on there does not mean that everything Sega ports to PC would also necessarily be a huge hit.

Sucks that a game as bad and as rushed as Rome 2 selling that much.
Got it - at least they expect it to sell reasonably better than their last games..

Remember when Sega used to make games?

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Still always surreal to read these about Sega when contrasted to our childhoods. Glad that they are still vibrant though.

Exactly. Rome 2 selling well isn't going to encourage SEGA to put VC on PC.
I hope SEGA is not done with the VC franchise. It was unfortunate that it got released at the time of PS3 doing horribly in the West and Japan. Making it into a handheld series then alienated the Western fan base. I hope they make another one for PS4. If that doesn't do well only then will I be okay with them abandoning the franchise.
It's very good now. The above is only true if you only ever judge a game at launch.
Serves them right. I've bought ever single one since 93 and their reactions to criticism and complaints of late has been a joke. Hopefully they see the sales drop from 13 and realise people won't buy the game if they're just going to phone it in every year.

Are those PC figures retail only, or does it include digital too?

I didn't beat the game until December and it was still a mess.
Even if we take the giant pile of technical issues out, the game was still one of the weakest TWs design wise. I was done for good after I finished it as opposed to immediately starting a new campaign with a new faction like in the other Total war games.
It should be everything, but I'm not sure we have an amazing resource to compare to to be 100% sure.
If it wasn't they would be one of the very few companies to not include digital though.
Not really surprised. 2013 was great and I dont think 2014 offered that much more.
Actually, Sonic Boom won't be released in Japan. So it's two, not three for that game.
The Ars Steam sales article last month had it at just over 1.2m which accounting for the 10% margin of error matches up with the official tally, so must include digital. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/04/steam-gauge-addressing-your-questions-and-concerns/2/

Still better than Konami!
still waiting for them to make a mega man game
It's down pretty substantially, actually - Colors sold 2.18mil in roughly the same time, and Generations did 1.85mil.

still a shame that they didnt release Yakuza Ishin in the west too for the PS4. There would have been like literally no competition and the game could have gotten a whole new boost in sales for the series

Haven't bought a sega game since yakuza 4, but I am glad to see they aren't doing too bad.
