So there are a few things I have been thinking about. Speculation and note time begins!
- The low PC sales of Rome II and Company of Heroes 2 put its too rest that SEGA counts digital sales in their reports when speaking of shipment figures, they do not.
- What is the mysterious Wii U title to be released before September ends? At 170,000 units predicted, I cannot think this can be a major title(s) and 3 skus fit perfectly with a global launch. But I could only see a late port being worth the effort, so perhaps a Wii U port of Bayonetta?
- Notice though that by the end of the year, the Playstation 3, Wii U, PSVita and Xbox360 have exactly 1 sku left assuming the new Sonic is the title with 3 sku, so perhaps this is not a entry in the Yakuza series or an arcade title ported, but a major title that will be released in Japan sometime in Q3-4 and then brought here in Q1-2 next fiscal year?
- Europe/America will only receive 7 titles each. Sticking with Europe, the following are sure to be coming here;
Company of Heroes 2, Football Manager, Total War: Rome II, Next Sonic (PS3, 360, Wii U, PC, Vita, 3DS)
That gives us 4 titles with 9 sku. Europe is set to have 7 titles with 13 sku. So we are left with 3 more titles and 4 more sku. A strong indication we will be getting a few platform exclusive titles. So 2 exclusives + a 360/PS3 game.
- Interesting enough, whilst America has the same number of titles (7) they have one less sku (12) perhaps Football Manager might have that PSP release after all!
That's all I got so far.
