As for games, Sega sold ¥10.6 billion ($123 million) in software for the quarter, up 27 percent year-over-year. However, its two biggest new releases--Iron Man 2 and Alpha Protocol--were deemed slow sellers by the publisher. Iron Man 2 sold 1.12 million copies in the US and Europe, while Alpha Protocol managed 700,000 in the same regions. Despite "generally weak" demand in the two continents, the gaming business improved its performance, posting an operating loss of ¥600 million ($7 million), considerably better than the ¥4.5 billion ($52 million) loss it posted the previous first quarter.I don't know what sort of sales numbers it was projected to hit, but 700k doesn't sound too bad to me considering that the game is less than two months old. A couple of patches would probably spur sales past the million mark, too.
