Keyser_Soze Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 max Quote Sega recently published its financial report for the year ending March 2019, and it's not been a great one. While overall sales increased, profits declined for the second consecutive year, with digital games and its slot machines seeing the worst results. In light of this, Sega is refocusing its efforts abroad, particularly when it comes to packaged games and ports. On the packaged games front, which includes Yakuza 6 and Football Manager 2019, sales decreased but profits rose thanks to repeat sales in North America and Europe. Sega expanded its efforts abroad and believes that, along with the higher quality of its games, also contributed to a successful year, at least for this part of the business. Sega's plan for the next year is to focus on what's already working for the publisher. It expects the domestic Japanese market to stagnate, so it will be looking to the rest of Asia, North America and Europe when it comes to mobile, PC and packaged games. Expect to see more Japanese console games ported over to PC, too. Sega's plan is to put more of its series on more platforms, including Yakuza and Persona. https://www.pcgamer.com/sega-wants-to-focus-more-on-overseas-and-pc-markets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Sega should really be porting over to anything that will have it. The xbox market might not be as big as Sony or Nintendo's, but its not small either. The only thing i can think is that Sony's money-hatting Persona and Yakuza. Also, yay for slot machine sales declining. Enough of that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think Nintendo has a policy where they can't release the exact game game, it needs to have something extra (like Zelda in Skyrim) so SEGA was like here's Persona 5 but... a musou game instead of RPG!

I guess Sony signed a lifetime console exclusive contract to keep Yakuza and Persona on PlayStation which also explains why Switch doesn’t get the version people want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks though because that would mean no portable Persona beyond a hypothetical pc port and GPD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raggit Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I never said anything about it not being console exclusive. The tweet states "No PC". Which is no longer true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
