Sega may have unintentionally pulled back the curtain on its internal sales data, revealing updated numbers for major franchises including Persona, Sonic, Yakuza / Like a Dragon, and Shin Megami Tensei. The stats appeared briefly on an investor-facing platform before being removed, but not before fans and analysts took note.

Meanwhile, Sonic Frontiers continues to gain traction post-launch with 4.57 million units sold.
