Sonic remains Sega's biggest franchise But Yakuza and Total War see strong sales. News by Ed Nightingale News reporter Published on 13 May 2022 13 comments Sonic remains Sega's biggest franchise, as the publisher releases its latest financial results. The company has seen a significant increase in its sales over the past year (totalling 320.0bn yen), with Entertainment Contents (divided into full games and free-to-play games, as well as arcade machines, toys, and animation) contributing the most (235.9bn yen). With 5.8m units, the Sonic franchise remains Sega's biggest seller by a considerable margin, but Yakuza and Total War are strong. Watch on YouTube The Yakuza games are Sega's second biggest seller, with 2.9m units over the past year. That includes the spin-off Judgement. The Total War games have sold 2.6m units, including the most recent success Total War: Warhammer 3. Then there's the Persona series that sold 1.3m units - impressive without a new mainline game in the series. The previous year's sales were higher (3m units) due to the release of both Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Strikers. The report also references the strong performance of major new titles from the past year like Humankind, Lost Judgement, Sonic Colors: Ultimate, Shin Megami Tensei 5, and Football Manager 2022. That's on top of ongoing success with F2P games Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage and Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis. There's more to come next year too, with the release of two Sonic games - Sonic Origins and Sonic Frontiers - as well as Two Point Campus, Soul Hackers 2, and the Switch release of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. There's also its Super Games project, which so far is bringing back Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio. You can read the full report here.
