What a blunder! SEGA accidentally leaks the sales figures of its latest games

SEGA has experienced significant growth in recent years, largely driven by the remarkable success of its most popular franchises, with Persona 5 being a mass phenomenon that has generated increasing interest in other titles of the IP. This success is reflected in the high sales figures of games like Persona 5 Royal and Sonic Frontiers, both surpassing 3 million units sold, along with Total War: Three Kingdoms and Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which have also made an impact in the market.

SEGA has experienced significant growth in recent years, largely driven by the remarkable success of its most popular franchises, with Persona 5 being a mass phenomenon that has generated increasing interest in other titles of the IP. This success is reflected in the high sales figures of games like Persona 5 Royal and Sonic Frontiers, both surpassing 3 million units sold, along with Total War: Three Kingdoms and Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which have also made an impact in the market.

And success will not stop

Recently, the Japanese company found itself embroiled in controversy after a slip in its financial report, where it accidentally revealed sales figures for several of its titles. The document was quickly withdrawn after the leak, although forums like Resetera were able to capture the exact figures before its removal. Despite this setback, SEGA maintained its prestige thanks to releases like Metaphor ReFantazio and Shin Megami Tenei V: Vengeance.

Looking to the future, SEGA has announced plans to release two highly anticipated titles: Stranger Than Heaven and a remake of Persona 4 between April 2026 and March 2027. Stranger Than Heaven, a new IP from the creators of Yakuza, has been described as a supernatural thriller with elements of action and mystery, set in the early decades of the last century. Meanwhile, the Persona 4 remake aims to modernize graphics and social mechanics, promising to revive the classic RPG experience with a contemporary twist.

With these releases on the horizon, the future of SEGA looks promising, consolidating its position as one of the main players in the video game industry.

The best deals of the spring 2024 Steam sales

If you want to take advantage of Steam’s spring deals to get the best games at an unbeatable price, we’ve got you covered.

Spring sales are happening on Steam. And you know what that means. It’s time to take out your wallet, put it on the floor, and let Gabe Newell put games in our library. But you may wonder, what should I buy? What deals are interesting? Fortunately, we’ve got you covered. Because these are some of the most interesting deals you’ll find until March 21st.

Inscryption (9.88€ | -70%)

One of the most popular horror games of all time and the 2021 GOTY for many people is now 70% off and at a ridiculous price. Less than ten euros. If you like creepypastas, cabins lost in the middle of the forest, and card games, this is the game of your dreams. And if you simply want a horror game that will surprise you? It’s also the perfect game to dive into headfirst.

Crusaders Kings III (19.99€ | -60%)

If you like history, strategy games, or simply want to see how far you can make the most absurd decisions as a ruler before you get killed, Crusaders Kings III is the perfect game. It is also perfect if you want a game that takes many hours to learn all the systems it has to offer, providing even more hours of gameplay where the same events don’t have to repeat themselves twice in dozens of hours.

Half-Life: Alyx (€20.05 | -66%)

We don’t give much love to virtual reality games. And some are worth it. If you have a virtual reality headset and don’t have Half-Life Alyx, now you have it at a 66% discount. Why should you play it? First, because it’s Half-Life. Second, because for many it’s the Half-Life 3 that we have already accepted will never exist. If that’s not reason enough to dive in, what else can we say?

God of War (€24.99 | -50%)

The reinvention of franchises doesn’t always go well, although that was not the case with God of War. Its reinvention as a father and Greek god in barbarian lands managed to bring back to life a saga that seemed already dead. Now you have it available with a 50% discount, to start getting excited until Sony decides to bring Ragnarok to PC.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (€9.89 | -67%)

Every now and then, good stories are needed. Funny ones. With a certain hidden depth for those who want to find it. For less than ten euros, you can have all that and more thanks to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, an excellent trilogy of visual novels with investigation mechanics. The only way to improve it? Play it on a Nintendo DS. But that’s already more complicated.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice – GOTY Edition (29.99€ | -50%)

From Software has many essential games, especially since the release of Demon’s Souls. One that never goes down in price is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. That’s why we recommend that, if you don’t have it, take advantage of buying it with a 50% discount. Not because it’s the best offer it has ever had, because it has already been at this price. But because it is a masterpiece and it doesn’t seem like it will have a greater discount ever.

Persona 5 Royal (€29.99 | -50%)

Do you like role-playing games and have 100 hours to spare? Then you should definitely go for Persona 5 Royal, a game that has managed to popularize the Persona series among the general public. With a 50% discount, this is the definitive version of Persona 5. Both for everything it contains and for its unbeatable price.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition (€13.49 | -70%)

Maybe you like role-playing games, have 100 hours to fill, but you prefer western role-playing games. In that case, you have the definitive edition of Divinity: Original Sin 2, at a ridiculous 13.49 euros, to enjoy one of the best role-playing games of all time. How good is it? It is the previous game from Larian Studios, who would later develop Baldur’s Gate 3, which is heavily inspired by Divinity: Original Sin 2. That’s how good it is.

Red Dead Redemption 2 (€19.79 | -67%)

If there is a game that doesn’t need an introduction, it’s Red Dead Redemption 2. And for 19.99 euros, there aren’t many reasons to think twice. If you like the Wild West or Rockstar games, the creators of GTA, we shouldn’t have to waste words explaining why it should already be in your shopping cart. And by the time you read this sentence, it should already be in your library.

System Shock (€19.99 | -50%)

To finish, we have to recommend one of the hidden gems of 2023. One of the masterpieces that didn’t appear in many best of the year lists, but deserved it as much as all the GOTY winners. That is System Shock. A remake of the classic 1994 game that shaped immersive sims like Deus Ex, Bioshock or Prey. At a 50% discount, not taking advantage to discover one of the best games of recent years is a true crime.
