Sega are nevertheless optimistic and hope that the Christmas season will bring more sales – since that is where they will spend 90 percent of their advertising budget.

Sega’s president Haruki Satomi nevertheless admits that the timing of the launch may not have been the smartest the company has come up with.

“Superstars” was actually released just three days before “Super Mario Bros. Wonder” – the first two-dimensional “Mario” game in eleven years, which has become the fastest-selling game in the series.

– We think that the impact of a big title from another company that was released at the same time was big, but we plan to increase advertising towards the Christmas season, especially in Western markets, says Satomi.

– Both the Metacritic grade and the user grades are higher than “Sonic Frontiers”, and we want to continue selling well.
