Sonic Sales Soar
As I expected, Sonic Adventure's blowing up the sales charts here in the
Land of the Free. According to NPD group, Sonic was the second best-selling game in the period
of September 5 to September 11. (The top-selling game in that timeslot was, of course, Final
Fantasy VIII.) That also makes it the top-selling Dreamcast US launch title, and (once
again) I expect it to remain the #1 DC game for some time to come. Hopefully some numbers will
be released in the near future, but the DC has topped half a million units so far, which should
give you some idea. (Sonic Adventure also remains the top-selling DC title in Japan,
having topped a very respectable 500,000 copies sold.)
