It is funny how Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog managed to get, ahem, up to speed after all these years. And it’s paid off big time for the publisher, as it’s reached a huge new sales record.
Based on a Sega Sammy Integrated Sales report that just published, the Sonic franchise has managed to reach 800 million units sold across its entire IP (products included) in its lifetime, starting with the original Sonic the Hedgehog game that launched on the Sega Genesis back in 1991.
