Pic related is day 1 Steam sales (in comparison to Mania's 64,000) and for console sales:
amazon.com
It's about to drop off the bottom of the top 100 sales chart already after one week. Mario Kart Wii is outselling it. What a fucking joke.
Troo far for you, Iizuka?
Hahaha
Just let Sonic die. He's been suffering for so long.
The steam sales don't mean much since the PC version is known to be fucked up, and people don't trust the PC version because Mania's PC version was also fucked.
By all means it doesn't look like it did very well, but I wonder if it was still profitable in the end. Mainly because Sonic Forces is sold at a budget price and the game itself feels pretty much, I wonder how much it cost Sega to make and if they were expecting to turn a profit anyway because of the shoestring budget.
Good. Now maybe Sonic Team will get their shit together now that they know they can't get away with mediocre titles to sell mountains of copies like they've been doing for years.
...

I'm just waiting for Japanese sales in next Wednesday's Media Create data.
I will never get tired of this
why can't I pirate this piece of shit I thought denuvo was cracked
Sonic Forces you to buy his game.
>Day 1 Steamspy sales
How many times does the guy in charge have to say the numbers are meaningless until at least 1-2 weeks after launch? While I fully expect Forces to bomb, Steamspy means jack shit on launch.
Sonic Forces people to crack Denuvo faster
Daily reminder that Steamspy is only accurate after about a week
Not that Forces did well, it probably bombed and it deserves to, but you're going off of bad info
it's not cracked because literally no one wants to play it except rabid sonic autists who would buy it anyways
What? even being shit, i expected the sonic fanbase to eat this up just for the OC creator.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Good, maybe they'll make Adventure 3 now. It's about time that Boost shit died.
Sonic isn't hugely popular on PC, compare this to Cuphead which is about a million sold on Steam alone. The 3D Sonic sales are abysmal, Sonic IV is around 280000. It's funny since Sonic was really the first massive console to PC port, Sonic CD for Windows 95 was huge at the time, it was bundled with fucking everything.
or just have the mania and utopia teams develop all future games
dissolve sonic team
and sega of japan
ALMOST DEAD
ALMOST DEAD
ALMOST DEAD TO THE WOOOOOOORLD
I just want to fuck around with it for an hour. I guess I could buy on steam and refund but I don't feel like it. probably runs like ass on my computer anyway
That also works
>Sonic Forces is literally the first Sega of Japan release that has had a simultaneous console/PC release since 2011's Generations
>these dismal numbers will further convince Sega that PC is inviable and keep Yakuza/Persona/Project Diva off PC
>the only Jap games Sega will release on PC will be ports of very old games from last gen
>tfw
How many disasters does Sonic Team have to make before they get removed? It's pretty obvious they don't care anymore.
...
genuinely feel bad for him, for once, holy shit.
he obviously has nothing, and not even ST can fucking give him what he has always wanted and they still find a way to fuck it up.
Oh god I actually liked that a lot what's wrong with me.
>pc
Show me the switch version bombing or gtfo
It's right there in the OP's link. Switch version is somehow being outsold by Mario Kart Wii.
Theres two different versions of the switch physical edition. Thats probably why. Bonus Edition and just a normal edition
Not really, it's an All-Stars Racing Transformed situation where the 'bonus edition' is actually just the first edition that goes out to print. There isn't a 'normal version' of Forces at present, the bonus edition is the standard
Lost World sold like absolute ass and we still got Bayonetta and Vanquish this year. Sega Europe knows better than to blame us for not buying shitty Sonic games.
LW sold like ass because it was on a console nobody owned, same with Rise of Lyric
Talking about the ill-advised PC port of LW which only sold a few thousand until it was in a bundle, and potentially delayed us getting ports of Bayonetta and Vanquish by a year and a half.
Lost World was ported to PC
>Just Dance 2018
>OG Wii
da fuq
Nah you can order both. Also Forces is top 5 on the nintendo eshop behind some heavy hitters
My guess is that everyone on Sonic Team fucking hate their job and despise Sonic as a whole so they're going out of their way to make the shittiest shippable games they possibly can out of spite and yet no SEGA hire up ever finds the pity to put them out of their misery and they keep requesting more Sonic games over and over again.
there is currently no way to see day 1 steam sales accurately
steamspy cannot provide day-one sales figures.
Now Sega has no choice but to make Sonic Adventure 3. Thanks, Modernfags, for giving us leeway with your Boost flop.
Forces is currently 5th on the Switch eShop best sellers list. Odyssey, Stardew Valley, Doom, and Mario Kart are ranked higher.
Sonic Mania for PC was delayed for two weeks, had problems at launch and had Denuvo suddenly slapped on it without as much as a warning.
I'm honestly surprised it sold as much as it did.
>Now Sega has no choice but to make Sonic Adventure 3.
They will make another boost game, call it sonic adventure 3 and autistic faggots will buy it.
>yellow arms
Don't forget people who preordered it were denied refunds due to sonic 1 being given to them two weeks ago and activating the licenses. So on launch date they "Owned" Sonic Mania for more than two weeks.
Yeah, I noticed that too. 2016 saw NO Sega ports, at all. So it's safe to say that 2018 will see no PC ports due to Force's flopping. Say goodbye to Yakuza.
Okami remaster has already been announced for PC.
oh no
Why the fuck would someone preorder a digital game that takes less time to download than it does to go have a piss?
>Sonic Forces fucks us out of Kiwami PC port
I'm gonna off myself
Okami is Capcom, buddy.
Maybe they'll just scrap Sonic Team.
Not sure how many more fuck ups they can get away with at this point. How hard is it to make a decent 3D Sonic game anyway?
I really liked that open world Sonic fan game demo someone made, it was an interesting take on 3d Sonic. Of course Sonic Team would fuck it up and turn it into a generic open world collectathon with crafting.
They somehow scraped past the trainwreck that was 06, with only Yuji Naka being a major casualty. Those incompetent retards will put up with anything they get shit on for.
A lot of people refunded their Sonic Mania preorders for Cuphead instead.
>Bayonetta and Vanquish were Denuvo-free
>Suddenly Sonic has it
What went wrong?
No, really, what happened there?
What's funnier is it was for a $20 2D game. Denuvo isn't cheap, it makes no sense to add it to an indie game or fan game. I wouldn't be surprised if Sega actually lost money on the port with the delay, mass refunds due to Denuvo and the fact that it was cracked so soon after.
Maybe Sonic Team just needs new blood at this point.
I don't even know how Yakuza on PC would even work, considering how the series is infamous for so many games coming out on short notice. Would PC be behind three games, and then get 6 but not Zero?
The only rationale I can think of is that Sonic Mania is literally "Sonic Forces: Part One" and the bigwigs at Sega of Japan(or even Sega of Europe) mandated that all Sonic Forces-related stuff had to include Denuvo. A couple (very well made) ports of old games just weren't on their radar. Ironic, considering how much of a success Bayonetta and Vanquish were.
>posts mario
the irony
Or maybe it's because they were games released during the Obama administration and they don't give a fuck if they sell or if they don't.
Steamspy is fucking useless the first 3-4 days
Yuji Naka jumped ship on his own accord before 06 was even released.
>still no crack
god damn I'm not paying 40 bucks for a 3-4 hours game with zero replay value but I still wanna see the car crash up close also the female OC's voice is adorable and I wanna make a cute wolf gal send help
>before 06 was even released
Right, the troubled development is what made him leave
>How many times does the guy in charge have to say the numbers are meaningless until at least 1-2 weeks after launch
He's never said this. He did say, however, that data starts to roll in after around three days. I don't know where you're getting this two week thing from. Plus, the game game out 5 days ago. It's not like it got released yesterday.
This game will likely sell WAY better on consoles, especially the Switch
>B-BUT MUHNIA
Mania has a much bigger PC audience than Forces does, since Mania is for nostalgiautists, who like to stick to PC for modding capabilities and stuff.
>zero replay value
Going for S-Rank and getting all three levels of collectibles took me a few hours. $40 for the main game, the missions, collectibles and free DLC seems legit to me.
It's not a great Sonic game, but I had enough fun with it.
>Mario Kart Wii is outselling it
An ex-Sega Europe employee said they didn't want to port the games out of chronological order.
Assuming they think PS2-quality graphics would be unacceptable to PC players looking to get into the series, this means they'd probably start with either Kiwami or 0 and work their way through the series from there. Anything beyond Kiwami 2 is wishful thinking, but ideally
Early 2018 - Yakuza 6 PS4
Mid 2018 - Yakuza 0/Kiwami PC
Late 2018 - Kiwami 2 PS4
2019 - Kiwami/Kiwami 2 PC
2020 - Kiwami 2/Kiwami 3 PC
I'm really surprised he didn't call that out.
If someone makes a file for him, I hope it has blue arms.
Reminder: Forces is so bad that even the most powerful autist of them all, CWC thinks it's a disappointment.
