+10k for Vanquish

Blablurn · May 13, 2011

10k in 3 months? bad legs for vanquish

i wonder if 830k is enough for sega.

dwebo · May 13, 2011

Iron Man 2 > Vanquish + Shogun 2

That's depressing.

Kusagari · May 13, 2011

How do these Sonic games sell so much when they're never on any charts?

antonz · May 13, 2011

Sonic has really done well transitioning over to Nintendo platforms. If only ourselves from the Nintendon't days could see the world now.

It really is. I wonder though if they would see it as a success. How many SKUs did that game have?

[Nintex] · May 13, 2011

Sonic is back on track good, Sonic Colours was awesome.

lunchwithyuzo · May 13, 2011

The three 3DS games would just be Monkey Ball in each region, right? So it shipped 360k?

Rated-Rsuperstar · May 13, 2011

It's horrible that Iron Man 2 sold that much. The game was so bad it killed my old ps3.

Regulus Tera · May 13, 2011

Was Sonic Colors more succesful than Sonic 4?

It's all about marketing really and movie license games ride on their movies wave for sure

The Lamp · May 13, 2011

._. what? Only 800k?

Poor Vanquish.....:C

I didn't buy it, but I wanted to....I was broke...lol

Yup...two of the best games the company has ever published...fuck.

Saty · May 13, 2011

23 SKU's planned for PS3 in FY2012; 18 for Xbox 360 and 6 for PC. Wonder what.

SovanJedi · May 13, 2011

How has Sonic Colours fared in comparison to recent Sonic titles? Hopefully much better on the account of it actually being really good, but...

Also I was honestly expecting Vanquish to have shipped far less. Awesome game, hopefully these are enough numbers for a sequel.

jackdoe · May 13, 2011

So the Shogun sales include digital outlets as well?

It's straight from the publisher, so yes.

Enosh · May 13, 2011

only 600k for Shogun? seems kinda low, does anyone know how much Empire or the previous TW games sold?

Margalis · May 13, 2011

Iron Man 2 is somewhere between 2 and 4 games.

PS3/360, PSP/Wii, DS. That's 3 sets of assets, programming tasks, perhaps 3 entirely different development teams. Grouping them like this is kind of pointless. There really isn't much relationship between the DS and 360 version, other than that they are both called Iron Man 2.

Crash Station · May 13, 2011

Great for Sonic Colors. Nice to see a good Sonic game actually do well.

SlipperySlope · May 13, 2011

Sega seems to be getting consistently profitable. Good for them.

sonic unleashed: 2.45m

sonic and the secret rings: 1.2m
sonic the hedgehog 2006: 0.9m

to my knowledge, sega didn't even list sonic and the black knight in any of their reports.

Not sure about that, since the pachinko business (Sammy) makes up most of the profit. As usual. The Sega side includes arcade and consumer games and that's at least turning a profit

PS Consumer business has gone down 70% since last year in profit, but I suggest a lot of that was due to the Japan earthquake in March - they were expecting Yakuza (of the End) to be released at the end of their fiscal year. Glad they now have more time to tune it up!

Of course, on their arcade front, their Trading card games are making bank and there's no sign of VF (alright, a lot of that's probably income from the rented machines, but still) anymore

Willing to bet the new total war cost more then all of the IM2 games put together,
they were built on the the first set of IM games and used a ton of the same assets.

Isn't that across five platforms? Those are pretty abysmal figures if so.

Hopefully it still made some money for them though.

300k per platform doesn't sound "abysmal" for a licensed cash in game.

_Alkaline_ · May 13, 2011

FUCK YEAH SONIC COLOURS WOOOOOOOOOO

Kunan · May 13, 2011

All of those numbers are much higher than I thought for each of them. Color me surprised; interesting. Colors and Vanquish in particular did much better than I expected.

Yoshi · May 13, 2011

Nice results for Sonic Colours

.

DiscoJer · May 13, 2011

It's kind of weird they didn't release Shogun 2 in Japan. Since that's where it's set and pretty true to life.

I know it's PC, but didn't a lot of Koei strategy games get released on PC there? Then again, those were set in China, mostly...

That's not a fair comparison is it?

Iron Man is on everything including the kitchen sink.

Vanquish is only on PS3 and Xbox 360

Shogun 2 is only on PC.

Also Iron Man is a popular comic book hero riding the coattails of a movie, while Vanquish is a new IP no one knows about except for gamers.

Finaika · May 13, 2011

Vanquish has been vanquished.

I'm trying to remember the number of platforms for each of those. Is this correct:

sonic unleashed: 360, PS3, Wii
shadow the hedgehog: GC(?), PS2, Xbox
sonic and the secret rings: Wii-exclusive
sonic the hedgehog 2006: PS3, 360

It did well, although I have a feeling the fact that they're including DS sales is having a big effect on the numbers. Still, it does make it much harder to understand the fact that Generations has only been announced for the HD twins; there *must* be a Cafe version brewing, it's the only outcome that makes sense.

szaromir · May 13, 2011

It's good that Vanquish didn't sell too well. Cutscene-heavy covers shooters with slow motion isn't exactly a model that I'd like to see copied.

PeakPointMatrix · May 13, 2011

Damn Sonic Colors, good going.

Sega promised an HD port if it sold well. WELL SEGA. PORT DAMN YOU.

Dead Man Typing · May 13, 2011

Nearly a million for Vanquish, that's probably what they were expecting.

Electivirus · May 13, 2011

Nice job, Colors. It totally deserves those sales.

Myriadis · May 13, 2011

830k for a game isn't that bad...

Unleashed was on PS2 as well.

A 3DS version is seemingly confirmed via a GameStop release schedule. But a Cafe version on top of that would make so much sense.

Also, apparently Sega's stocks went DOWN when they announced the game, there's a slight possibility that it was due to the lack of a Nintendo platform version. These numbers do speak for themselves though.

antonz · May 13, 2011

Nintendo Power is seemingly teasing something 20th anniversary Sonic for the next issue. They already had the Mario and Sonic preview so who knows.

ShockingAlberto · May 13, 2011

Having a side version kind of misses the point, though.

The logical answer here is that good (and even mediocre) Sonic games sell really well on Nintendo systems. Having an outsourced, low-budget version made for Nintendo systems seems like a bad business decision.

All in terrible and boring slow motion?

Maybe they are? Unleashed team is making Generations, whereas Colors team is making the Wii/3DS game?

Sword Familiar · May 13, 2011

I wish people would have bought the real Iron Man game instead. :/
