It appears that someone at Sega forgot how to properly redact data from a PDF, making sales data for 11 major games publicly available.
In a presentation document for its annual management meeting, Sega attempted to block out years of sales data for a number of its games. Instead, however, the company simply put a gray overlay on top of the data without preventing the information from being accessed. This information include sales numbers for a number of games over the last six fiscal years, including three Sonic titles, two Like a Dragon games, and more.

Key take aways from the sales data, which you can see for yourself below, are that Persona 5 Royal continues to be a major seller for the company, selling 7.25 million(M) copies over the last six years, and that there’s still a demand from players for Sonic games as games like Sonic Frontiers (4.57M) and Sonic Superstars (2.43M) have both sold well since their respective launches.
