about the whole 720,000 units, does this game have a shot at 1 mil lifetime? Its pretty much gone in US and Japan, but if you look at recent Sonic games (Rush). They start out VERY slowly, and tend to just sell about 10k a week forever. Rush actually sold almost 2x as much in Europe as here. Looking at Secret Rings vs. Rush's first 9 months on the market:
Rush (November 05 - July 06) 252,423 (US sales)
Rings (February 07 - October 07) 310,000 (US sales)
Rush's Lifetime is 1.75 million, which is pretty impressive.
Though, the sales of Rush in Europe are double the sales of the US, at 1.12 million. Sonic and the Secret Ring's European sales are only 370,000 as of now.
Regardless I think the holiday and a few more months on the market will push this title over the million sold mark, which might inspire SEGA to take some time with a sequel.
I bought it and enjoyed it, it wasn't perfect but still a fun game (2nd sonic game, rush was my first)
