Let’s start by clarifying one or two. These figures are all arrested at the end of the previous fiscal year on March 31, 2025. They correspond to the distributed copies (sell-in) even if the difference with sales to consumers (sell-through) is increasingly thin since the majority of sales of these titles take place for download. Another clarification is Metaphor sales: Refantazio and Sonic X Shadow Generations are not part of the flight but were communicated publicly by SEGA in this same document. So we added this data with the others to have additional points of comparison.
Once the figures are arranged in the order of magnitude, Persona 5 Royal stands out strongly with its 7.25 million sales. Naturally, this figure includes the original version released on PS4 as well as all the portes that appeared in 2022 on PS5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch and PC. It is this multiplatform deployment that is largely responsible for this performance. Another size teaching: by combining the sales of Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal, the 10 million bar is exceeded. Sega and Atlus know it, they have gold in their hands with Persona 6. But for the moment, it is persona 4 to sign his revival, and it will not be before the tax exercise which begins in the spring of 2026.
Sonic Frontiers had been left on the remarkable figure of 3.5 million sales in just 6 months. A performance that has already made it the best sale of a 3D sonic since the 3.41 million Sonic Heroes sales in 2007. The game released in November 2022 now claims more than 4.5 million copies sold. Team Sonic Racing (3.5 million) and Sonic Superstars (2.43 million) are the other two main successes of the franchise in the past five years, even if SEGA had described as “disappointing” the performance of the last city. Recall that the hedgehog, in the meantime a movie star, will return on September 25 with Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, betting on crossovers House (Hatsune Miku, Yakuza, Persona) but also a big paid content roadmap (starting with Minecraft).
Author of good sales over time since its release in 2020, Yakuza: Like A Dragon is serenely closer to the 3 million sales, which undoubtedly makes it the record for the franchise. By signing the first real global launch of the saga in January 2024, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth made the best launch of the saga by exceeding one million sales the week of its release. It was then sold for 480,000 sales during the fiscal year closed on March 31, 2025, for a total of 1.66 million. It is worse than Persona 3 Reload, who exceeded 2 million over the same period.
Regarding Shin Megami Tensei V, note that the game had passed at 1.2 million copies on Switch but that its sales had collapsed completely – only 10,000 sales throughout the fiscal year 2023/2024 – before the multiplatform outing of Shin Megami Tensei V: revenge which made it possible to inject 960,000 additional copies between June 2024 and March 2025.
