Heck, even the Wii U's combined software sales across all games has only come to 56.7m. Given its mad popularity, it's hard to judge Nintendo too harshly for branching into mobile when even its heaviest hitter on Wii U, Mario Kart 8, only managed about 5.1m in sales worldwide as of 31st March 2015. The mobile offshoot was first released on iOS in March 2013, then followed suit on Android in November 2013 and Windows Phone in December 2014.ĭeveloped by Sega's mobile studio Hardlight, Sonic Dash was created by a team of only 15 people over the course of eight months. Sonic Dash, the free-to-play endless runner spin-off of the famed hedgehog, has been downloaded over 100m times, Sega has announced.
