Sega’s latest Sonic game sales are eclipsing Zelda and Metroid on Nintendo Switch
I’m personally pretty nosy when it comes to learning about game companies, their profits, and what titles do particularly well for them. So when it’s time to release the figures, I’m there reading and waiting. And now it’s official: Sega is releasing its sales figures for two recently acclaimed Sonic games: Sonic Superstars and Sonic Frontiers. The figures are a little surprising and may hint towards the company’s success, as Frontiers’ 4.57 million units surpass Nintendo Switch games like Metroid Dread and Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
In the new documents, Superstars performs slightly lower than Superstars, with 2.43 million units sold, making it equivalent to games like the Switch version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, though the latter has been out for seven years already, and Superstars only came out in 2024. Sega’s latest Integrated Report also sheds light on its Sonic mobile game, Sonic Dash, which has racked up a total of 676 million downloads. Sounds like a lot, right?
Well, it is, given that one of the best mobile games of all time, Pokémon Go continues to claim billions of downloads. Over half of that is an extremely respectable figure, even if it isn’t reaching quite the heights of the smash hit Pokémon game. Both Sonic Frontiers and Superstars were deeply hated by some Sonic fans online, so it’s amusing to see reactions to the decent sales figures. But will a new gaming king be crowned?
