SBK Drops Out of Top 40
2009 is not an Olympic year, but don’t tell that to the throngs of gamers in Europe who continue to eat up Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games like it’s going out of style.
In the latest British sales charts, the Wii edition dropped only one place in the multiplatform category, from third to fourth. The game is still beating out big names like Resident Evil 5 and Guitar Hero: World Tour.
Meanwhile, Sonic Unleashed dropped four places closer to the bottom of the top 40, from 32nd to 36th. It’s not clear whether that figure represents the sum of all versions sold, or only one particular edition, such as the Wii version.
Much of Sega’s other recent offerings, such as MadWorld and Sonic and the Black Knight have been wiped off the radar. But Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection, known as Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection domestically, did jump up eleven spots to 25th overall.

Holy Fudge… wow that really was a hit! even if it really isnt THAT good. its fun to play with friends =P Im really glad for SEGA-Nintendos success perhaps that will cheer them to do a REAL adventure/RPG mario and sonic game.
Hmm………
Seems like SEGA and Nintendo are going to have an extremely large budget once the Winter Olympics are released.
Wonder if they’ll use that budget to make, as Dabbido said, a platformer or adventure.
i hierd thier could be 2 new sonic games 2009 sonic chronicles and sonic unleashed 2.
phillip: Me too, but I don’t belive the rumor about an Unleashed 2 this year at all. I think Chronicles can come, but SU2? I want SU2, but I can’t belive that it will come already!
I can’t beleive its still selling…I mean who doesn’t own it? Or is there serious;y enough people who don’t own it yet to buy it sp quickly this long after its released? It’s incredible, but good lol Means there will be a helping hand to Sega to help them out of their little downturn…
@phillip: Sonic Chronicles I could understand, but SU2? I really hope not, unless its been in production for some time now it would be really rushed and we’ll have replica of 06 on our hands.
They’ve regained some respect in my eyes with SU, but an SU2…. well I sure hope we don’t see it until 2010 at least. I can wait if it means a game even better than SU!
