Sega has admitted releasing Sonic Superstars at the same time as Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 may have hindered sales.
In a presentation of the company’s recent financial quarterly report, sales of its mascot platformer were described as having a “slightly weaker start than we had anticipated”.
Then, in a newly released Q&A following its recent financial report, president and group CEO Haruki Satomi and senior executive vice president and CFO Koichi Fukazawa were asked for the reason for the lower-than-expected sales so far.
