SEGA could hardly have wished for a better launch with “Sonic X Shadow Generations,” as the game has already attracted one million players. This is a top-notch start reminiscent of the 1990s and proves that Sonic remains a license that drives sales, despite some uneven episodes and rarely achieving perfection. Since the success of the Sonic movies in cinemas, the blue hedgehog’s popularity has surged. By featuring Shadow as one of the heroes in the third film set to release in theaters on December 25, 2024, they ensure sustained sales appeal. Could “Sonic X Shadow Generations” be a long seller? It is not impossible.
