Sonic x Shadow Generations hits new sales milestone

Sonic the Hedgehog has been on a bit of a hot streak as of late, with the Blue Blur having recently released the remaster/expansion Sonic x Shadow Generations to immediate sales success. One month on and the game continues to perform well, with SEGA announcing the latest sales milestone.

As shared by the official South East Asian Sonic the Hedgehog Facebook page, Sonic x Shadow Generations has managed to sell 1.5 million copies in its first month, writing:

“Sonic x Shadow Generations has sold over 1.5 million units worldwide! Thank you all for your continued support!”

For context, the game pushed an impressive 1 million copies within its first 24 hours (although the figure also included 3 days of advanced access), and so sales understandably would have slowed down in the weeks since.

That said, while we don’t have life-time sales for the original Sonic Generations from 2011, it took roughly 5 months for that title to reach 1.85 million sales – meaning the remaster is far outpacing the original sales-wise.

With the 3rd Sonic film set to premiere one month from now on the 20th of December, it will be interesting to see how sales for Sonic x Shadow Generations continue to trend – especially given Shadow’s prominent role in the film.
