From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of best-selling video games for the Sega Saturn home video game console. The Saturn’s library comprises over 1,000 titles, including ports of arcade games as well as original console-exclusive games. The best-selling franchise on the system is the Virtua Fighter series, with Virtua Fighter 2 selling 2.5 million copies.

The Sega Saturn was released on November 22, 1994, in Japan and on May 11, 1995, in the United States. The console was a commercial success in Japan, selling 5.57 million units, but it failed to replicate the success of the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in North America and Europe, where it sold 1.8 million and 1 million units, respectively.
