Thanks to SonicGalaxy27 for sending in the news tip!

Unsurprising, Sonic is something only children (or adults with the mentality of one) could enjoy. It’s repetitive and braindead gameplay is perfect for toddlers.
Funny that the Mario games and movies still destroy Sonics in sales despite this though lmaooo.
Haha
Yet Sonic is still more popular 😂
Also all these characters are for kids so a grown adult going into a rant about Sonic being more popular than Mario is both hilarious and kinda sad.
Sonic fans are so desperate for a win that they delude themselves into thinking a random online ranking from a children’s website means anything. 😭
If sonic is more popular why Mario’s games and movies earn more money?
Go and get your sorry self checked.
Because people will throw money at anything with Mario in it. Miyamoto could shit in a bucket and call it the next Mario game and it’ll still sell like hotcakes.
As if Sonic fans don’t buy the same slop over and over again lmaooo 😂
Pot calling kettle black if I’ve ever heard it.
SEGA could sell you a literal pile of shit and you’d still buy it if it had a Sonic sticker on it 🤣
shut up
cope sonictard 🫵😂
Tell me your steam username so that I can gift you sonic adventure. Usually sonic haters don’t play any games from the franchise, so I would like to give you a copy of SA so that you can see sonic is a fun franchise.
Call me a sonictard or whatever, but I think you would enjoy the game.
I love Sonic Adventure! Played it three times, music’s great.
Dear anon, sonic fanboys bought that shitty frontiers game in that key card crap format and without the chance to at least upgrade the abominable switch 1 version.
So, who are the ones consuming shit</>? Honest answers, please.
God I bet you love the fact that Sonic ranked higher than Mario don’t you…..😏
Please don’t tell me Sonic fans are actually taking some random ranking from a children’s website as a “win” 😭
Oh god that’s so sad.
Grab a popcorn and check former mynintendonews collaborator SSF1991 X account, the boy is having the time of his life because at Sonic is “back to form” (according to him, lol) while making everyone laugh with his biased fanboyism.
Cool, good for Sonic. Never been super into Sonic, but got more into it when my son did a couple years ago.
If you Sonic fans haven’t listened to the Chaotix Case Files audio drama, I HIGHLY recommend it. It’s free and hilarious and so fun!
Donkey kong isn’t on that list yet Bananza sold more than 4 million of copies on one single console and took one year to reach those numbers, less time than sonic.
I think Mario also includes donkey Kong.
Those Princesses can never compete with Sonic’s Delicious Line of Goddesses 🤤
Sonictards need to be put on a watchlist 😭
Get away from the internet you fucking furry weirdo!
I wish he was on the list because he been with Nintendo for a longtime now.
I guess Spider-Man is number one now.
As much as I would have loved to see Sonic Take number one, losing to Spider-Man is respectable: silver shines just as bright as gold in my book😎
as a part time sonic hater, Mario was NEVER cooler than Sonic lol
Mario just has better polished games that are actually fun. Id assume thats what the poll is based on. They like sonic himself as a character but they sure arent buying the games. Sonic gets outsold by crash bandicoot….the dead ip guy
