I like how ZFS pretends his name was never Heroic Mario.

But yeah preorder numbers aside I'm pretty sure people cared more about Sonic 2.

My parents preordered games for us all the time. It was often the only way to get more popular ones, or... Anything during the holidays.

People preordered Sonic 2. Remember Sonic Twosday? That was like the first hyped video game release date ever, they had TV commercials just about the DAY. In fact I remember Toys R Us sending a flyer to my house telling me to reserve Sonic 3. I didn't do it, but they asked me to so I have to assume SOMEONE did. And I did reserve Mortal Kombat II later that same year, as did all my friends.

I had no idea preorders even existed as a kid. perhaps my parents didn't love me that much! they did buy me every console version of SF2 though so I can't complain too much.

Yeah games weren't as big back then, so if you wanted a popular game on release date you pretty much HAD to reserve it. Less places had em, the ones that did had fewer copies. I suspect cartridge media may have had something to do with it. Probably just took longer to manufacture those than to press a bunch of discs, so they couldn't get as many out the door for day one.

Yeah, most games don't sell nearly as well as the old school Sonic games, so that's nothing against Generations. I imagine it'll do a few million worldwide, though. Despite how poorly they've been received, Sonic games have continued to sell well over the past decade. That's why Sega kept pushing them out.

Sonic 2 sold 6 million. Are you really telling me this'll get anywhere close? If so, that means it'll sell more than big hits like Uncharted 3 and Skyrim this holiday season... and thats not happening.

Did you just completely ignore the posts saying that most games don't sell that much, and so it's stupid to even bring it up?

I have a feeling you ignored those posts.

He posted that dumb GIF because it was a dumb post to make.

It doesn't need to sell anywhere near Sonic 2 or 3 to be successful, and no one's thinking this preorder record means it will.

Fortunately! I haven't heard much of the music in Generations, but I'm sure it has some nice classic tunes in there. Soundtrack of the Year, though, I don't know about this. I don't view Sonic music that highly!

I think being more anticipated than 06 is a minor surprise. That thing got MASSIVE hype. That's why there was so much "omg worst game ever" stuff, even though it's really only like a 4 or 5/10 game.

Maybe. I would definitely say it's a bad game, I would just say a 0 or 1 would be harsh. It has its moments, in any case.

UC3 is bought and paid for (thanks ND) so I've got no qualms dropping another £40 or so on this. Then nothing til Christmas when I'll likely get ACR and Rayman Oranges.
