Best selling Sega games

I see you on the MD/DC pages. I was wondering if you're interested in doing a Sega Saturn page? If so, I can provide with you data for it. 86.190.67.242 (talk) 00:08, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

@86.190.67.242 I would LOVE to. The problem is that I need to find reliable sources for games like Sonic R for example. But yeah I would HypnoBlader (talk) 00:16, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
Good news, I have JPN Saturn data!

https://retrocdn.net/images/5/5a/SSM_JP_19971114_1997-39.pdf

Page 69!

JPN sales: 1.) Viruta Fighter 2 (1.7 million) 2.) Sega Rally Championship (730k) 3.) Virtua Fighter (670k) 4.) Virtua Cop (620k) 5.) Fighters Megamix (600k) 6.) Sakura Wars (550K 7.) Daytona USA (540k) 8.) NiGHTS into Dreams... (500k) 9.) Shin Magami Tensei (470k) 10.) Fighting Vipers (450k)

Now here some caveats:

- Sega Rally did 1.2 million globally. SOURCE: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platforms/dice-mizuguchi-talks-artistry-and-commerce-in-concert

- Virtua Fighter 2 was at 2 million globally in August 1996 SOURCE: https://web.archive.org/web/19961220011116/http://www.sega.com/news/releases/nightsahit.html

- Daytona USA, Virtua Cop, and VF2 sold 500k bundled in USA Xmas 96. That puts VF2 at 2.5 million, and both Daytona/VC over a million. SOURCE: https://archive.org/details/NEXT_Generation_28/page/n17/mode/2up

- Sakura Wars 2 sold 500k in Japan, it isn't in that top 10 as it came out after the magazine article: SOURCE: https://www.ign.com/articles/1999/10/19/sakura-wars-strikes-the-dreamcast

(I don't think Sonic R would make a top 10 or even top 20. It was a US/EU-centric game and the majority of Saturns were sold in Japan).SonicKamran (talk) 00:25, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

@SonicKamran Thank You! I will remember to give credit to you for finding these sources. HypnoBlader (talk) 00:34, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
So an overall top 10 using those sources:

SS Sales: 1.) Viruta Fighter 2 (2.5 million) 2.) Sega Rally Championship (1.2 million) 3.) Virtua Cop (1.1 million) 4.) Daytona USA (1 million) 5.) Virtua Fighter (670k) 6.) Fighters Megamix (600k) 7.) Sakura Wars (550K) 8.) NiGHTS into Dreams... (500k) 9.) Sakura Wars 2 (500k) 10.) Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner (470k)SonicKamran (talk) 00:31, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

@SonicKamran Second Thanks! Will remember to give credit to you HypnoBlader (talk) 00:34, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
You're welcome. I've been wanting to see a Saturn page get made for a while but never really knew how to do it (and given my account is new, probably wouldnt be allowed to).SonicKamran (talk) 00:36, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
Hi @HypnoBlader, any update on this?SonicKamran (talk) 19:58, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
@SonicKamran I'm developing it, bit don't worry, it will release by the end of November or the Start of December. Though a delay is possible if I'm busy HypnoBlader (talk) 20:09, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
@SonicKamran GOOD NEWS! The "List of best-selling Sega Saturn video games" is now in a draft! But add like 2-3 games into the list for now and DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, DO NOT remove the top note! It is meant to be there in case the article is ready, in which it will be. Remember to a couple of games to the list. After that, I will submit the draft. Thank You have a great day😊 HypnoBlader (talk) 01:34, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

@HypnoBlader https://segaretro.org/Press_release:_1996-01-10:_Sega_captures_dollar_share_of_videogame_market_--_again this article says:

In addition, Sega's exclusive software "Virtua Fighter 2(TM)" sold more than 1.5 million units, bringing to 3 million the total number sold in Japan of the "Virtua Fighter" series (including: "Virtua Fighter," "Virtua Fighter Remix," and "Virtua Fighter 2").

So you could put VF1/Remix combined at 1.5 million.~2025-36327-25 (talk) 13:25, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: List of best-selling Sega Saturn video games (December 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Pythoncoder was:
Right now I don't think there's enough content here for this topic to get its own article. This list also has some noticeable omissions — Virtua Fighter sold at least 1 million in Japan alone, and it looks like Nights into Dreams sold at least 400K copies.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

New US Genesis software sales data

https://x.com/GameHistoryOrg/status/2038723026934550684

This percentage of sales for US Genesis games.

US Genesis sold 20 million.

Sonic 1 = 10.4 million (52%) Sonic 2 = 6.2 million (31%) Sonic 3 = 6.2 million (31%) (May be including Sonic & Knuckles) Mortal Kombat = 3.2 million (16%) John Madden Football = 3 million (15%) (Assuming Madden 93) NHL Hockey = 2.6 million (13%) (Assuming NHL 94) Joe Montana Football = 2.2 million (11%) Aladdin = 1.8 million (9%) X-Men = 1.4 million (7%) Streets of Rage = 1 million (5%) Street Fighter II = 1 million (5%)

So we boost up Madden and NHL's sales on the list, add Joe Montana Football and SOR1 to the list. What you say? SonicKamran (talk) 22:14, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

@SonicKamran I think it's great, wonderful, but I'll have to do that later tonight. HypnoBlader (talk) 22:21, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

The Numbers had the wrong gross for 'Hoppers'

It appears that The Numbers has the incorrect box office gross for Hoppers. The gross at Box Office Mojo is the right one. Thanks for pointing that out. And1987 (talk) 01:40, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
