SEGASammy disclosed that the #Sonic game series sold ~800,000 units in Q1 of fiscal year 2021, supported by titles like #MarioSonic2020, #TeamSonicRacing, #SonicMania, and #SonicForces. It was one of the contributors to increased Q1 sales in the respective subdivision. #SonicNews

#Sonic (~800K) is ranked behind #FootballManager (~900K), #Persona (~1.2M), and #TotalWar (~1.9M) in terms of FY2021 Q1 unit sales in the "Full Game" category. SEGASammy reports, "profit increased significantly in Consumer area due to the spending from staying at home."

The performance of the subdivision is good news for SEGASammy. The company reported significant losses in sales due to COVID-19's impact to the pachislot and resort businesses. Losses are presumed to continue for the remainder of the fiscal year should the virus linger.

A summary of the consumer entertainment subdivision (full game) thus far.

Major titles for Q1:
- Persona 4 Golden for PC

In and after Q2:
- Total War Saga: Troy (23 August)
- Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster (WW2021)
- Shin Megami Tensei V (2021)
- Humankind (2021)

Lastly, "non-operating income from the #SonicMovie is expected [to be disclosed in SEGASammy's reports] in the second half of the year." #SonicNews

Since it's apparent that people misinterpreted the SEGASammy numbers as doom and gloom for Sonic, please read the following thread: ~r https://twitter.com/tiretdu_6/status/1293310007363153921

The point being, these numbers are fine. SEGASammy just said that these are strong numbers.

Forget Sonic, SEGASammy's future losses is the primary concern of this report, not Sonic being ranked #4 because SEGA has other franchises. ~r
