Sonic Superstars is 9th best selling game in US for October according to newest Circana data (in dollar sales)

According to newest sales data from Circana (formerly known as NPD) for October 2023, Sonic Superstars managed to get into top 10 best-selling premium games for this month in United States at no.9.  While it is in dollar sales, not unit sales, and it's a comparatively lower placement than Sonic Frontiers in its launch month, I would still say that it did pretty well, especially considering that neither Mania nor Mania Plus ever really got into top 20 in their respective launch months or even a month after.
 

Now I also wonder if it will have any legs and stay in the top 20 in November, since Frontiers held on to top 20 for 5 months, till April 2023.

Be interesting to see if it does. I was really hyped for Superstars, but im suprised as on "OG since '91" fan that its not as enjoyable as frontiers. Its solid, really good in parts but im not in a hurry to go back to it in the same way as frontiers. A few QOL improvements would help with it, but lets see. I hope it does hold on...but lets see

That's a solid result. We'll see how people play ball with it once Sega initiates price slashes for it, which should be happening in a week or so if the timing is the same as usual. #9 with full price for such a game is a good sign in user engagement. I have my doubts about it having the same staying power as Frontiers, but it should still be plenty of financial incentive for Sega to keep greenlighting future 2D games. Especially if they're made on the cheap like Superstars seemingly was.

I never knew about how many Sonic fans existed. I never met one.
