the numbers are from 1995, the ending of the mega drive support from sega, but the game sales up to 1998, was bundled with genesis/mega drive consoles. 15 m is right, i think, and 10 milionfor sonic 2.

My first SEGA game, and probably the best

The game is pretty undertracked. I think the real sales are around 15m. 4.34m is to little to make sonic so famous as one of the most famous video game characters worldwide.
