Sonic x Shadow Generations sold 1 million units on it's first day

3.5m in 6 months and 1m in 2 months is nothing comparable to achieving the same amount as the latter in 1 day.
It's still a lot hell better than only selling 1M units in a few years.
And I'm talking Moreso in the grand scheme of the franchise, most games after sonic 2 never sold that fast. Even if it's picking up now for the longest time sonic was lucky to get 2m
I brought up those games (well, Frontiers in particular) because it shows how much the series has grown over the past years, in big part thanks to the success of the movie series.
IMO, it's not weird that Sonic X Shadow Generations has sold this good, the third Sonic movie (which SXS Gens is tied to) is guaranteed to do gangbusters.

Also the TV series and comics.

I now remember that SIE had marketing rights for this game (revealed at a SoP, appeared at another SoP, and even had exclusive PS content).
Safe to say that they'll be doing it again.

Yes, but Sonic games usually launch on all platforms and they don't sell 1 million in one single day.

i don't believe they will ever make a Sonic Adventure 3, its just a pipe dream by fans.

SEGA wanted to experiment outside the Adventure brand since some people complained it doesn't resemble the classic games.

But some projects since then have been influenced by these games, Shadow the Hedgehog is a continuation of the storyline, Sonic 2006 is essentially Adventure 3(just badly made) with a realistic artsyle,Sonic Unleashed started as Adventure 3 before evolving into something else, and Sonic Frontiers is the new formula that evolved from Sonic Adventure

It might be a pipe dream, but them working on generations again is close enough.

Yeah all of them outside Generations sucked. So they should just go back to the formula as Generations and Adventure share alot of the 3D gameplay. Why make anoter Unleashed or 2006 when the generations.adventure formula works better.

I havent tried frontiers yet
