It's been roughly three months since Sonic X Shadow Generations hit the Switch, and while the release (fittingly) came out quickly, selling a million copies in its first weekend, SEGA's latest sales update shows there's still some life left in it.
Shared in a press release at SEGA pagethe company announced that Sonic X Shadow Generations has since sped up two million sales — accounting for physical and digital downloads. This total combines unit sales across all platforms, although we'd guess that Switch gamers made up a good portion of the updated total if UK chart breakdowns are anything to go by.
Reflecting on Generation's renewed success, SEGA clarified that it has “focused on transmedia development as an important strategy” in the growth of the Sonic IP, “which includes global expansion across various media verticals and sales.”
As if proving its transmedia tactics in action, the press release ends with the flex of Sonic the Hedgehog 3The box office total to date ($425 million worldwide) and a note that a Sonic Rumble mobile game will launch later this year. It is not mentioned Joints series, then? Probably the best.
In case you missed it, we had a blast with Sonic X Shadow Generations last year, calling it a “monumental return to form for both hedgehogs.” You'll find our full review below:
