That's very impressive for a crappy game.

Bnet3435766d ago

This is one of the best games ever made. It sold more then MGS4 and Halo 3 combined.

Shadow Flare5766d ago

Isn't that the same number of xbox 360's that have rrod?

NiraTum5766d ago

this proves that the wii is hurting the industry more than helping it...

indeed this is a sad day for gamer. this is the era of casual...

and we all know that casual meant for crappy rush kiddy antihardcore game like all of us here at ng4...

next... will be wii music is the GoTY of 2009 selling 15 millions copies

Rute5766d ago

The Wii isn't hurting the industry. It expands it.

A large number of non-gamers have been interested in gaming for years, but most regard pad controls too complicated. That's why Buzz and Guitar Hero with their simple controls have been such a great success on PS2.

As long as there's demand for complicated games, they will be developed. Same goes for casual gaming. These two aren't dependant on the failure of other.

Choonqpead5766d ago

While you are right in some ways, you have to realize by expanding the casual market companies will be tempted to spend more time and money on the casual side. If they can make a game like this which probably didn't cost anything near what Halo 3 did and sell more then why not do that?

Did you watch E3, especially the Microsoft and nintendo keynote speeches? The casual markets are more important to them now, so they stray away from anything hardcore and focus less attention.

In the end its bad for gamers like us here on the front lines of the N4G console wars lol. It might not be the end of us, but it doesn't push developers to make games that won't sell to the mass public.

Sega is Teasing Big Sonic News… Here’s What it Should Be

Sega has recently taken to social media where it has repeatedly teased some big Sonic The Hedgehog news. I personally haven’t been into any of the recent Sonic The Hedgehog games, my knowledge ends at Sonic Heroes — that being said, up until that point I was a Sonic super-fan in my youth.

Gamers will be devastated if the game they are hyping so much is not Sonic Adventure 3

LaWiiG2899d ago

They need it at this point. They seem like they have no direction. I will interject, though, Sonic Colors #Win

The 10th Rider2899d ago

Haha, definitely. Though I could take another Generations or Colors. So long as it's not something with another shoehorned in gimmick, like Unleashed or Sonic and the Black Knight. They should just make Adventures 3, but take hints from Generations, Colors, and the Unleashed daytime levels.

Paytaa2899d ago

I've only been waiting 15 years for a SA3. Will have to break out of my Sonic retirement if it is Sonic Adventure 3.

Wouldn't be the gamer I am today without the first two.

SegaGamer2899d ago

I won't be disappointed if it's not Sonic Adventure 3, any Sonic game that is in the same style as Generations would be perfectly fine by me.

Sonic Adventure 3 would be great to see though, but not the same if they leave Chao World out. Hopefully if it is Sonic Adventure 3, we get Chao World with it. Consoles have come a long way since Sonic Adventure 2, just think what they could do with a Chao World now. Chao's interacting and racing with other Chao's online would be awesome :D

Chocoburger2899d ago

No, I'll gladly take a Sonic Generations 2, if they offer it.

Sonic is a lot cause, we always finally expect a great game, instead we receive something like Lost World or Sonic Boom.

brettnll2899d ago

Sega did apologize for those games though basically. And now they promise their next Sonic game will be good. So you never know.

Germany72899d ago

But Sega never released a patch for Sonic Boom on Wii U, they simply abandoned the game, it still is a broken mess. I'm a huge fan of 3D platformers, but no way i would buy a broken game like Sonic Boom.

The 10th Rider2899d ago

Sonic Boom was a completely different and totally new team. I wouldn't use that to figure what to expect for Sonic Team's next game.

DarkHeroZX2899d ago

Sega didn't actually develop Boom. They published it and it was developed by another team.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2899d ago

Sonic Lost World isn't a bad game. It better than 06, Secret Rings and Black Knight.

Phunkydiabetic12899d ago

That's like saying cow shit tastes better than pig shit.

SegaGamer2899d ago (Edited 2899d ago )

I agree, Sonic Lost World is actually pretty decent. I remember the crappy IGN review. The person playing it seemed to be on a mission to dislike the game no matter what. He would blame the controls and camera angle when he was dying when really he was just really bad at the game and didn't want to take the time to get better at it. He would also often die on purpose just to make the game seem worse than it was.

To hate Sonic is the in thing these days, if people played the majority of Sonic games without going into them with the same hateful mindset then they would find that they are actually quite enjoyable.

Segata2899d ago

Lost World is actually pretty fun. However the Unleashed and Black Knights and 06 and Booms need to stop

SegaGamer2899d ago

The only thing Sega can be blamed for is letting a gaming company from the west make a Sonic game. The way the game turned out can't be blamed on Sega. Sega needs to keep Sonic Japanese.

Sonic isn't a lost cause, the games just need to be developed with more care. Another thing Sega could do is get rid of the recent cheesy, kiddy friendly voice actors and storylines and go back to the more darker tone of SA1,SA2, Sonic Heroes-ish and Sonic 2006.

DarkHeroZX2899d ago

Sonic Adventure series was not that good. And Sonic 06 was Adventure 3 lol. Sure it wasn't called Sonic Adventure 3 but it was supposed to be the next main Sonic game.

Paytaa2899d ago

I disagree with all of that. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are my favorite Sonic games and I played all of them up until Sonic Unleashed. Sonic '06 was a 3D reboot of the franchise that played nothing like SA, actually the game had a hard time even playing. That game was garbage.

The only time Adventure was mentiomed again was for Unleashed where in other countries it was called Sonic World Adventure.

DarkHeroZX2899d ago

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 where my favorite when I was young but those controls did not age very well at all. Also the plot for SA2 was kinda stupid. How GUN confused Shadow and Sonic has always baffled me. And like I said Sonic 06 wasn't called adventure, it didn't need to. And the formula was very much Sonic Adventure. You play as a bunch of characters who all have different stores that interconnected leading up to the true conclusion of the game. Sonic played like Sonic. Shadow was actually made more unique to play different from Sonic. And then there was Silver.

Segata2899d ago

They are fully remaking Sonic 1-3 using UE4 for XBO,PS4 and later a NX port. Right? Please.
