Well so far Kirby Air Riders sold almost 200k physically in Japan. Not sure about the rest of the world but it’s worth mentioning.

Yeah in Japan Kirby absolutely crushed Sonic, which launched at just 5.5k on Switch and 2.1k on PS5.

The rest of the world though should be much closer, as Japan is quite meh on Sonic but really likes Kirby.

We finally have some official numbers from Nintendo’s Quarterly report with Kirby at 1.76 million. So far we know Sonic is a +1 million. While we don’t know the exact amount for Sonic, Kirby seems to be the faster selling racer.

Sega reported that Sonic Racing Crossworlds had passed 1 million, and that they are hoping for 2m this FY, but said that the game "did not meet expectations" sales wise.

Yep, it's looking like Kirby may be shaping up to win this one.

Kirby Air Riders really show what can happen for a game that is a big hit in Japan. Its huge Japanese sales meant it nullified Sonic Crossworlds advantage in western markets.
