Game Now Almost Certain to Sell a Million Before XMas
On Wednesday, the independent website VGChartz.com reported last week’s estimates sales for all versions of Sonic Generations. We stress that the numbers are unofficial, but unlike in North America, all three editions of the game saw estimated week to week increases.
On percentage alone, the big winner this week was the XBOX 360 edition. VGChartz estimates 41, 150 copies of the game sold in the region. That’s a more than 49 percent increase week to week. The PS3 version didn’t do so bad either, chalking up an estimated 45,141 copies sold, a nearly 15 percent increase.
On the 3DS, an estimated 15,206 copies sold last week in Europe, up about 18 percent from the previous week.
Taking all the numbers into account to date, Sonic Generations is on the cusp of breaking a million estimated sold, if it hasn’t already. That should pan out when sales estimates for this week are released next week, the last week we’ll bring you the roundup until Sega Sammy’s earnings report in February.

cool good news
Why do I have the strangest feeling that Generations will not reach 2 million, since there was no Wii version?
Btw anyone, what is the difference between 36,000 and 36,000 units?
I also don’t understand the dots (.) On numbers, i.e. – 17.9 copies sold…..help?
I don’t see dots, there’s commas…. and those are used to seperate out digits so they are easier to read…
The only time dots are used is when they’re talking big numbers. Like, 1.5 million means one and one half million.
As for the numbers vs. units thing, unless there’s something I don’t know, yes, they are the same thing.
@SpeedingHedgehog – Thank you for telling me
Dots are used in English for separating decimal places, while commas are used for separating thousands. For instance 1,000 is one thousand, while 1.000 is exactly one.
In some other languages, for instance in Portuguese, the roles are reversed: Dots are used for separating thousands, and commas for the decimal places. In that case, 1.000 is one thousand, and 1,000 is exactly one.
@Mark the Echidna – Thanks man
It makes sense now.
Again, thank you both Mark the Echidna and SpeedingHedgehog!
