Summary

Sonic X Shadow Generations sells 2 million units, a hit for SEGA in 2024.
Despite being a remake, the game is a success, generating revenue for SEGA.
SEGA’s movie franchise also performing well, with Sonic crossing $1 billion in ticket sales.

SEGA has another hit in their hands, as Sonic X Shadow Generations is now a multi-million seller, joining the ranks of Metaphor ReFantazio as one of the publisher’s games released in 2024 that moved a ton of units.

This was revealed in SEGA’s latest quarterly earnings report (via VGC) where it announced that Sonic X Shadow Generations has now hit two million units sold.

Sonic Continues To Rake In The Dough For SEGA

While Sonic X Shadow Generations has a long way to go before it catches up to the best-selling 3D Sonic game, Sonic Frontiers, which is at 3.5 million units sold, it’s still an impressive feat, especially considering Sonic X Shadow Generations is a remake of the 2011 platformer.

Atlus’ Metaphor ReFantazio has already passed one million units sold in its first day of availability, though SEGA hasn’t provided a sales update for the RPG.

It’s not only a commercial success, but Sonic X Shadow Generaations is a fun game as well. Our review of it mentions, “Alongside a lovingly remastered Sonic Generations showcase, Shadow Generations is a dark and broody triumph that not only pays homage to the cult classic outing of yester-year for the troubled hedgehog, but also irons out all the aspects that fans didn’t quite take to, effectively giving Shadow the do-over they deserve.”

Is The Sonic Symphony Worth It For Sonic Fans?

The Sonic Symphony has been touring the world at a high price, so is it worth seeing? I went in Dallas to find out.

Aside from the game, the Sonic movies are also doing very well for the publisher. The third Sonic movie has already passed over the $400 million mark in ticket sales last month, according to SEGA.

Overall, the Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise has now crossed the $1 billon mark, which cements SEGA’s mascot as a box office franchise.

However, it’s not all good news for SEGA, as the publisher has canceled Football Manager 25, breaking a 30-year streak.
