Golden Axe is a difficult one, honestly its there just because I have the feeling that it was somewhat of a system seller, in Britain at least. Virtua Fighter 2 was the highest grossing arcade game of 1995, and 1996 and the Saturn version sold a few million as well. Virtua Fighter I think was pretty successful in the arcade in the west, but in Japan it was a phenomenon, the highest grossing arcade game on 1994 and apparently remains one of the highest grossing arcade games there of all time. Its also another one of those games where the home computer versions are all over the place in the UK. Outrun was still in the top 10 highest grossing arcade games in Japan as late as 1990! Also, it seems as though even the terrible, frankly unplayable home computer ports of Out Run sold well over half a million in Britain alone!Īfterburner was the highest earning arcade game in Japan in 1988, and seems to have done well everywhere else as well. It seems like Outrun was the highest grossing arcade game of 1987 in both Japan and North America, and I wouldn't be surprised if Britain was the same. Games like Outrun and Afterburner were not just titles that sold well, those games were some of the most popular games of their time.
SONIC AND SEGA ALL STARS RACING TIER LIST SERIES
Yakuza does however seem to be more popular during the last few years than Shenmue ever was at its height but Sega still seem to refer to it as a niche series I had another look into Yakuza and honestly it doesn't seem that big, in fact it looks like the first Shenmue may have outsold Yakuza releases for most of the franchise's lifespan even though it came out earlier and was released on a system that only had ~10 million sales. I remember games like Nights being publicised quite a bit but people not being that interested in it?

I feel like Alex Kidd and Golden Axe may have been much more popular in Europe :confused: Sakura Wars is a pain because it was only popular in Japan so its hard for me to gauge, Altered Beast is a pain as I wonder if anyone would've really known about it if it hadn't been a pack-in. Then the "popular" section is stuff that mainstream normies knew about. I feel like outside of Sonic, Sega were never as huge as they were in the late 80s arcades. Here is the latest version, updated after 3 pages of responsesĪgain this has nothing to do with quality of the games (or with sales actually, as older games are going to sell less than newer ones) just how popular they were in context of the time, like were mainstream gamers familiar with these ips or just the enthusiasts? You've got some franchises that were only popular in one territory and not another, others that were popular at the time but not anymore, some that were before my time (Zaxxon) etc etc. I tried to make a tier list of popularity of each franchise at its height but I'm having trouble.

So I've been playing a lot of Sonic All-star Racing Transformed recently and got to wondering which Sega IPs made the most impact on the general public.
