So with the reveal that Sonic Crossworlds bombed compared to expectations, is the tie-in comic (that is now 6 months overdue) going to be cancelled?

It's a live service game so advertising it will be relevant for a while. If Tangle's in it it's arguably more relevant after this month

>We recently announced that worldwide cumulative sales have surpassed 1 million units. However, initial performance did not meet our expectations
Corpos say this about literally every product that doesn't net them a trillion dollars in the first quarter. "Didn't meet our extremely unrealistic expectations" is different from "Didn't perform well". It has sold over a million copies while competing with Mario Kart. What kind of numbers were they honestly expecting?

More than that. Look at EA and Dead Space.

Was that tge one with SpongeBob? Big shock that it bombed. Sonic fans hate the sponge. Who'd have thought it.

It didn't compete with Mario Kart at all, Mario Kart World had already sold 5.63 million units by August 2025, Sonic has just now passed the 1 million mark.
That may sound huge to you but for a big game company that's pathetic.

Sonic games as a whole sell shittily, Frontiers is meant to be a series-wide success but it only managed to cap at 3 million sales. Crash fucking Bandicoot puts Sonic Games to shame. and yes we both know Crash is dead, but Crash N-Sane sold over 35 Million copies, and that's not even an outlier across its history.
I don't know how the fuck Sonic is still going at this point. It must be a combination of merch sales, Pahchinko money laundering, and Sega operating at a loss to keep their mascot recognisable.
