PC exclusive Company of Heroes 2 sold 380,000 copies in Europe and the US in its five days of availability during Sega's first financial quarter ended June 30.
During the three months in question, Sega's consumer business segment, which houses video games, generated net sales of 18.9 billion yen (£127m / $193m), up from 15.1 billion yen for the same period a year earlier.
The segment also made a small profit of 39 million yen (£262,000 / $399,000), compared to a 1.6 billion yen (£10.7m / $16.4m) loss a year earlier.
First quarter packaged software sales declined from 2.76 million units a year earlier to 1.21 million, with 570,000 boxed games sold in Europe, 370,000 in the US and 250,000 in Japan.
In contrast, Sega said digital software sales "remained favourable". Combined digital and packaged sales of online RPG Phantasy Star Online 2 hit 500,000 units in the quarter.
Parent company Sega Sammy reported a healthy set of results for the business as a whole. First quarter net sales grew 29.6 per cent 90.7 billion yen (£609m / $928m), while net income rocketed 408.8 per cent to 12.95 billion yen (£87m / $133m).
