Sonic the Hedgehog mobile surpasses 8 million downloads
Sega Mobile says that its version of Sonic the Hedgehog has reached the milestone of being downloaded 8 million times since it launched in early 2006. Verizon Wireless has seen the most success from the $8 download of Sonic, with the company stating that the game has made a "substantial contribution" to the company's sales these past two years. Sega Mobile plans to introduce Sonic 2, Sonic Spinball and Sonic at the Olympic Games this year.
For those keeping track, this would be our second mobile success story of the day. We got this weird feeling ... could somebody check on Alderaan? Oh, really, not there you say? That's too bad.

A star wars reference?

..and through an azure sky Sonic floated down on a cloud of glory bearing new hardware, and the people rejoiced. Sega were back!
The End.

Not really a fan of mobile gaming and Sonic at the Olympic Games sounds a bit crap.
But well done to Sega and all that.

Does this include ipod sales? I bought it for the ipod classic and it was a huge mistake, the the wheel makes it 'possible' to play the game... but extremely frustrating.

I actually bought Sonic for my phone, usually stick to puzzle games for mobile, but got it anyway. Not bad. It stays extremely true to the original (including the music) unlike Contra which IMO is terrible.

A fool and his money...something....i forgot the rest. Well, more power to the people that make money off of other people that are so bored they buy things like this.

i caught my brother playing the original Sonic on his old phone one time. he said he played it at school and stuff but i didnt like the controls when i tried it. nothing beats playing it on an actual gamepad.
