This seems to be generally outselling what the original Generations sold in its opening months, which is a great sign for the series moving forward.

The new Shadow stuff was really really damn good. I wish they gave more time to Shadow/Maria/Gerald moments but it's the very best boost style has ever been.

The story of Shadow Generations was surprisingly moving in that regard. And yes, it's a lot of fun. While I haven't played as many Sonic games as Mario, I'm starting to play more of them. Shadow Generations ranks pretty high, though I have a childhood bias for the Adventure games despite their obvious flaws.

Outpacing OG Generations - Which is a very encouraging sign and shows how much the games can do when the quality and word of mouth (Thank the movie for that) is there.
Now where's my SA1 and 2 Remakes?! THOSE will really do big numbers!

2024 was The Year of Shadow for Sega. And it looks like it will be a profitable year, though we'll know once the fiscal year ends in a few months.
Nintendo's Year of Luigi was a disaster. The financial year itself from April 2013-March 2014 I mean. Nintendo had other problems than Luigi games that year, namely the albatross around the neck that was Wii U.
