Sonic Generations General Discussion

[MadeManG74]

Got me a little too happy, but I do agree on the DLC. Starting to get bored on what we have right now.

I was just joking about the clip being DLC rather than hoping for actual DLC. To be honest I haven't actually got the game or played it yet.

I'll show myself out...

what are your guys opinions about the sales of the game? i was expecting a little more, to say the true.

[Sharky]

I haven't seen the sales but I'm not worried, Sonic games continue to sell good numbers for months and months after release and before you know it, it's sold 2 million copies.

[MadeManG74]

I think sales have been pretty poor so far from what I've heard, but judging by Sonic Colours, it might not be a very front loaded game when it comes to sales. With Christmas around the corner things might pick up, and a price drop or two would probably help as well.

A German fan got a copy of the 3DS version and is leaking info at Sonic Stadium:

So far both versions are outselling the best selling versions of Sonic Colours, if that remains the case is the question.

Honestly I expect the sales to pick up once the game hits a better price, especially in places like the UK were it can range from £35 - £40.

But Sonic games sell over a period of time and are never front loaded, Sonic Rush entered low on most European and American charts and ended up with over 2 million sales, I am sure Generations will have similar effect. Especially with Nintendo pushing the game in the UK for the 3DS.

A lot of my friends want to play it, but $50 is too much for them. They said $20 to $30 they'd buy it. I said don't wait for $20, its better than a $20 game.

I'm in the same boat as a lot of your friends. It's not that I don't think that it's worth $60. It's just that I can only spend so much money on games. I refuse to buy anything used, so that leaves me with the option of waiting 6-8 months for the prices to drop.
It's a tough wait sometimes, but I really can't justify spending the extra $30 on a game just to play it a few months earlier most of the time.

Thank you, guys. From what i see, seems that a lot of people bought the pc version. I was not expecting that. This is good. I bought the mine for ps3 now, i will start to play not this weekend but in the next. Cant wait !

About the PC version, in the leaderboards there were 3091 entries for Green Hill Act 1 earlier today, and according to the steams achievements page, 20.4% of players participated in the leaderboards.
This means that the PC version so far sold over 15150 copies (I say "over" because most likely there are players who have the "joined the ranks" achievements who might not have an entry in Green Hill Act 1, they could have participated in a random stage just to get the achievement).

Anyway, most likely both the PS3 and XBox 360 versions sold like 10x more or so, but still, over 15000 copies in 2 weeks for a game of a franchise that is not popular on the PC that was released in a month with many other popular releases, I guess it's not too bad.

Good grief, the first really consistentely good 3D Sonic game and it doesn't sell.

Don't know how many numbers it's pulling in the UK, but in the past three weeks, it has been slowly dropping down. It started at 9th, dropped to 10th and this week, it's on the 20th spot.

It'll pick up when the price drops.
I think it'll sell a good chunk of copies in the long run.

I only have the last two bosses to finish, and for the most part I'm liking this. Rolling however is one of the things that really needs fixing.

Been watching 3DS videos and dreading what I'm seeing. The level design seems way too straightforward and very un-DIMPS like.
