The Sonic the Hedgehog series has achieved over 1.7 billion unit sales and downloads as of SEGA's fiscal year 2024, which ran from April 2023 to March 2024.

**Why it matters:** Sonic remains a top franchise for SEGA, as the franchise continues to boost brand visibility across games, movies, and merchandise.

**By the numbers:** Revealed in SEGA Sammy Holdings' latest integrated report, there was a 7% increase from the previous year, aided by the release of major titles like *Sonic Superstars*.

- This is an increase of 110 million units from the previous year's total of 1.66 billion, and a rise of 260 million from 1.51 billion units in fiscal year 2022.
- However, the growth rate has slowed down by 26% compared to last fiscal year.

**The bottom line:** This achievement highlights the publisher's plan to stay strong in digital and free-to-play markets, while still offering traditional console games.
