Sonic X Shadow Generations Sales Top One Million Copies in Three Days

Sega announced Sonic X Shadow Generation sales have topped one million copies worldwide across all platforms in just three days. The developer and publisher announced that the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations is part of their strategy to further strengthen the Sonic IP, which seems to be working given the total worldwide sales for this entry in the series. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Sega goes on to state that it will continue to develop it’s transmedia properties, which includes a series of comics and merchandise. This included the release of a special Sonic X Shadow Generations Chao comic. Upcoming trans media releases and collaborations include a series of DC comics where various characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog universe will assume the roles of iconic heroes like Batman. Sega also released a short animated series leading up to the release of Sonic X Shadow generations, which more or less worked as a primer for those unfamiliar with the brooding hedgehog.

Additionally, it will continue to publish games as part of the Sonic the Hedgehog IP such as the previously announced Sonic Rumble. Coincidentally, Sega is hiring employees to work on future Sonic the Hedgehog titles. However, this job listing was limited to Japan.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
