Sonic The Hedgehog - A Little Ball of Energy in an Extremely Handsome Package

[Berto]

SEGA has released its financial summary for the first quarter of the 2025-26 fiscal year
Sonic series records 770K unit sales in Q1, while Yakuza/Like a Dragon got 690K unit sales

The company's forecast for the rest of the year is looking a little more optimistic. Sega reckons it'll do better this year than last when it comes to sales, driven largely by the release of new Sonic Racing and Football Manager titles later in 2025.

Heck, London has become more of a shithole in recent years. With unkept streets, homeless tents, increase in crime, riots being almost a regular occurrence.

Thank goodness I live on the coast of Wales.

I know Jet had that voice since Sonic free Riders, but I prefer his squawky-sounding Sonic voice more.

Wow. Back then London was considered a major global hub with a high level of safety compared to many other large cities. How the mighty have fallen.

Agree. His sound doesn't feel natural here, especially compared to his JP voice
