As part of SEGA's recently released annual fiscal report, the publisher revealed the sales data for its franchises. The Persona series landed as SEGA’s 9th biggest with more than 15 million units sold. Interestingly, nearly half of these sales are related to Persona 5.
In the same report which revealed that Sonic the Hedgehog has amassed an audience of over 1.6 Billion, it was announced that the Persona franchise had officially sold 15.5 million units.
More interestingly however is the fact that Persona 5 and its spin-offs account for 7.22 million units – or almost 47% off all the franchise’s sales.
There is no denying that the Persona series hit it big with Persona 5, and now that the game is available on all modern systems, it is likely to soon account for a majority of the series’ total sales.
That being said, Persona 3 and 4 are coming to modern consoles in 2023, and so it will be interesting to not only see how many more copies are sold over time, but also whether Persona 5 will take the majority of sales.
