* [[It Will Never Catch On]]: Sega hoped both versions of the first game would sell 4 million copies combined. They got laughed at by the gaming press and on [[Message Board|Message Boards]]. To date, both versions of the first game have sold more than that each. In fact, the Wii version is currently the ''highest selling Sonic game of all time'' (second best if you count ''[[Super Smash Bros]]. Brawl''), and the second game is also a hit, with the Wii version selling just over 4 million, and the DS version selling over 3 million, as of early September 2011.
