SEGA, a leader in the global video game industry, has released its latest Q3 financial results, providing insights into the performance of its recent titles on the Nintendo Switch 2 and other platforms.
The report, which details the company’s fiscal activity from October 2025 to December 2025, paints a challenging picture for some of SEGA's most anticipated releases, including Sonic Rumble and Persona 3 Reload. Sonic Rumble, a mobile party game featuring SEGA’s iconic mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog, was launched with considerable fanfare.
Despite high expectations and a collaborative development process, the game failed to meet key performance metrics set by the company.
According to SEGA’s Q3 financial documentation, every major indicator tracked for Sonic Rumble fell short of projections.
In their official statement, SEGA noted that the game's launch did not align with the performance benchmarks the team had targeted, resulting in a critical reevaluation of post-launch support and marketing strategies. Similarly, the release of Persona 3 Reload, a widely anticipated title now available on the Nintendo Switch 2, encountered comparable difficulties.
SEGA acknowledged that this new addition to their portfolio, along with other major titles, did not achieve the expected sales or engagement figures.
The company succinctly described the status of their flagship releases by stating that 'new titles have failed to achieve the targeted key performance indicators.' This reflects broader challenges in capturing market momentum with brand-new releases, even for established franchises and proven properties. The financial update further highlights that SEGA’s back catalog, consisting of legacy games often promoted through events like Nintendo Direct presentations and the Nintendo eShop, also underperformed during the quarter.
Sales of older titles did not reach anticipated levels, contributing to overall revenue misses in the quarter under review. SEGA remains a prominent developer and publisher in the video game industry, known for acclaimed franchises across multiple generations of gaming hardware, including the Nintendo Switch family of systems.
With platforms like the Nintendo Switch 2 broadening the audience for both new releases and classic games, industry observers will be interested to track how SEGA adjusts its product strategies moving forward in light of these recent sales outcomes. For fans of Sonic Rumble, Persona 3 Reload, and SEGA’s broader Nintendo Switch library, the company’s commitment to quality experiences remains clear.
As SEGA navigates the challenges detailed in its Q3 financial report, both gamers and investors will be awaiting updates on the publisher’s efforts to strengthen performance in upcoming quarters.
