Wii Up Again, DS Down Again
It is again a tale of two charts for week 7 of Sonic Colors’s release in Europe. The website VGChartz.com has released their figures, which are unofficial. They again show a small pre-Christmas bump for the Wii edition of Sonic Colors, while the DS edition again declined.
For last week, VGChartz estimates 47,901 copies sold on the Wii. That’s an increase of just over six percent, but the momentum continues in Europe, where Colors on Wii has not seen a week-to-week decline so far. That unfortunately has held true on the DS, where Colors sold an estimated 31,832 copies across Europe. That’s a nearly four percent decline.
It looks very probable that when the domestic figures come in–possibly as early as later today–that crucial million mark will have been met. We will see. Thanks to Sonication for sending this in. If you have news to share, be sure to share it with us by clicking News Tips at the top of every page.

Praise God! Sonic is finally coming back to his glory days! WOOHOO
I certainly hope this game reaches a million, despite the fact it’ll have to cheap its way up there by combining both versions of the game. I’m still holding out for a PS3/360 port.
Colors is a awsome game I got it for my wii, but If SEGA for some reason realeses it for the Xbox360 I’ll get it for sure
I got this game on Christmas and I have been playing it recently. And you know what: Sonic Colors rocks and is an enjoyable game. Screw those who hate it. Nobody cares if you moan and think negative thoughts all the time, because being open-minded and happy are the way to go if you want a successful gaming experience like me.
Sure, I may have likes and dislikes about certain things in the entire world, but when it comes to Sonic games, it’s all nice stuff. And you know why: It’s because I accept the Sonic franchise as what it is, what SEGA (it’s owner) wants it to be, rather then moaning and complaining about it all the time like everyone else does. If I hear someone complain about the newer Sonic games one more time then I will be very repulsed. Goodness sake, I wish people would have a more positive mind and accept Sonic as what it is instead of wanting to change it to something their way.
@Vulpine
Lol, dude who are you ranting at? I don’t think there’s anyone here who dislikes Colors. Possibly it’s ‘Rush-type’ formula, but not the game itself.
“Every single Sonic game ever made is good because they were all made by Sega and Sega knows best. Sega is God, and quality is defined solely by their vision.”
I think Vulpine just started a new religion.
@ChaoticFox
No, I did not start any religion. You’re just mad for me being an open-minded folk for accepting the Sonic series for what it is and not whine, moan and complain about it. A “true” Sonic fan must accept the series for what it is, even if you don’t like it.
I may be sorry, but I find all of this complaining about “recent Sonic games” somewhat immature. If you don’t like the recent Sonic games, then that’s fine, but that’s your opinion and you should not stuff it down anyone else’s throat.
“I do not believe Sonic Team is perfection incarnate” = Not a true Sonic fan.
If complaining is immature than so is fangirling.
“If you like the recent Sonic games then that’s fine, but that’s your opinion and you should not stuff it down anyone else’s throat.”
Swallow your own advice and choke on it.
*then
and more arguments ahoy.
It’s the New Year guys! Let’s get along! For Sonic’s sake.
As for the True Sonic fan thing, I don’t think there is even a real meaning to it… it’s more of a opinion thing.
Not every one is gonna love the new games and/or the old.
We are all different.
Yes, I’m even talking about the ones who complained about Sonic’s green eyes, Robotnik=Eggman, Sonic Colors being 3D and so on.
@Chaotic Fox
lol you’re funny when you reword things completely lol
@Hedgy
I can’t really detect whether that was sarcasm or not. Personally, I thought my re-wordings were pretty accurate translations of what was said.
VGChartz has updated showing the latest NA sales for both platforms:
Wii: 72,918
DS: 83,955
So now worldwide we are at:
Wii: 557,296
DS: 501,356
Total: 1,058,652
So Colors has now unofficially passed 1 Million on both platforms combined, congrats!
I’m with you Vulpine you understande me dude
i just wanted to say… i almost cried when i got the game for Christmas…. and now im stuck at this boss. ugh. its like KH all over agin b/c im haveing my bro and sister help me. hahaha. >v> (fail) . but i LOVE IT. it is so vibrant and the music, the cutsceens…ugh sega YOU DID IT! … now just keep it up..
ChaoticFox and Vulpine, you’re BOTH right. Vulpine is
allowed to express his opinion just as ChaoticFox may express his.
It’s not “shoving” it down somebody’s throat, it’s an individual’s
choice to read a TSSZ comment. Now stop this bickering and move
on.
The game is great, not far from the classics IMO.
Hope it reaches a million and gets more recognition from core and casual gamers alike.
I might be somewhat late with this response but I have to get this off my chest.
What determines if your are a true fan or not is your reasons, what you stand by, not what you stand for. The specific things that you like and dislike do not make your remarks hold more water than anyone else. It is your reasoning and how you are involved.
I loathe remarks that revolve along the lines of “If you like old/new Sonic, than you like **** and you’re a fanboy.” Those responses are immature and only make yourself look like that of a fanboy. When one wants specific qualities out of something that they like, they have EVERY right to voice what it is. But that which they want WILL differ from other people, if even from what the majority wants, and that is 100% OKAY!
The mark of a fanboy is blind loyalty, and deniably seeing perfection or superiority out of something you are a fan of, or blind obligation against something that you hate, just because of brand name, and feel the need to look down upon those who disagree with you. Also, when someone trys to back up their fanboyism with “You should respect others’ opinions,” why should they respect yours when you have stupid reasons for your opinions. After all, you gotta earn respect.
The mark of a true fan is when they show passion for their wants and the ability to give constructive crititism toward which they feel needs improvement TOWARD WHAT THEY WANT, and is not dependant upon the specific things that they want, because different people want different things. Like what GoldenHedgy said, it IS an opinion thing.
@Vulpine
You said that people should accept Sonic for what it is and what SEGA wants it to be and people should stop complaining. While it is true that SEGA can technically make Sonic however the heck they want and don’t have to listen anyone if they don’t want to, and that no one has the right to directly insult you, what you said is the mark of a fanboy/fangirl because it shows that you will just suck up everything SEGA gives you because it’s Sonic and everyone should do the same. It’s just as bad as one trying to make another hate Sonic.
That being said, I do love Sonic and IMO think that Sonic Colors is nothing less than a masterpiece, but that is because I have my reasons and tastes, and also think there are things in the game that need improvement to further meet my tastes. I think this game should of had more multiplayer options (wi-fi connection). Some of the stages or the game in general could have been a little longer. I wish there were more playable characters with the same gameplay as Sonic. The controls could have been a tiny bit better, and etc. Does that make me a bad person. NO! So don’t get mad when someone complains about the qualities in a Sonic game unless they are insulting people merely because others disagree with them. Because not only is it all opinions, its reason behind those opinions.
I applaud anyone who was willing to read this wall of text.
Colors really is swell, isn’t it? I enjoy it so much that when I see it in the store I’m always half-tempted to purchase it a second time, in hopes that I will be able to recapture the gleeful joy of my first playthrough.
@ChaoticFox
You bet! It is one of the most fun Sonic games out their and it was great seeing what masterpiece this game is after playing through it. I hope, and for some strange reason have an incredibly good feeling, that the anniversary game will be great as well, possibly because of seeing how much better Sonic Colors is than Sonic 4 Episode 1. For that, I’m not looking forward to Episode 2 nearly as much I am to the anniversary game.
