SEGA says Sonic Racing CrossWorlds failed to meet sales expectations

SEGA says that while feedback for Sonic Racing CrossWorlds has been overwhelmingly positive, sales of the game have failed to meet internal expectations. The company said it hopes to sell an additional one million units within this fiscal year and presumably the plan is to develop additional characters and tracks, which the company has been doing with the Season Pass.

Now, I’d like to talk about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds: It has received high ratings, scoring over 80 on Metascore at “Metacritic” and earning an “Overwhelmingly Positive* rating on Steam’s customer reviews. We recently announced that worldwide cumulative sales have surpassed 1 million units. However, initial performance did not meet our expectations, and we are aiming to sell approximately another 1 million units within this fiscal year. We aim to sustain long-term sales by encouraging players to enjoy the game over time through the continued support of the title including ongoingrelease of additional downloadable content.
