Sonic Unleashed Sales Also Picking Up
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games has returned to the British Chart Track multiplatform game charts in the top ten. But what is very surprising is that Sonic Unleashed isn’t far behind.
M&S hit #9 in the charts out of the top 40 for last week. That’s slightly up from the previous week’s #12 ranking. For any title to maintain such consistency anywhere should give you a good idea of what to expect come release time of Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games, slated for later this year.
Only five places off that mark, however, is Sonic Unleashed. Though no specific version–be it the Wii/PS2 edition or the next-generation one–is noted, that game jumped seven places from its spot last week, to #14. Previously it was at #21. Not very long ago, it was in danger of completely falling off the charts.
Nintendo’s Wii Fit maintains its position as the #1 selling “game” in Britain for the week. Sonic and the Black Knight is nowhere to be found.

No version is mentioned for Sonic Unleashed because it’s multi-format so the chart entry is counting for all 4 versions sales put together as it’s the All-Formats chart list from Chart Track -

awesome, go Unleashed! Though seeing as its released over multiple platforms, and I think this is what Shadzter may have implied, its got a bit of a leg up. Would be interesting to see how each version of the game is selling.
I’ve said it before but I’m gonna have to say it again: How on earth does M&S keep selling?
Can’t wait to see how the next clash of the two go in Vancouver lol
TailstheHedgehog: You said it! Go Unleashed!
I am impressed on how well the game like Sonic Unleashed despite critic scores. If there was an games award ceremony, and Sonic Unleashed was in it, it would receive “Underdog of the Year” in terms of sales! Well, maybe that is just me, but still, Unleashed’s sales progress is impressive so far!
Though I am wondering the same thing myself: how does Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games keep selling? We may never know the exact answer to that question, but hey…
@Tails and Sonication: agreed!
and M&S keeps selling because its on wii T_T lol.
oh and the next-genaration versions should be selling better as thats the “full” game of SU! It has content, and lovliy grathics!
i hope SEGA keeps developing titles on 360/PS3! plus they would have to, to help the sales i suppose 
lol.
@ TailstheHedgehog
Tristan said in the article no version is mentioned so I was just informing him that the listing there is for all four versions put together.
I’m not implying its got a leg up due to being multi-platform, I’m glad its doing well in the charts even though it is multiplatform.
