On a more personal note, if we are talking about a Million copies seller in such notable conditions, am I expected to believe Sega didn’t have at least a bit of arguably unrealistic expectations?
It’s a kart racer, not The Successor to Sonic Frontiers

CrossWorlds is an outlier in a number of categories, at least
-Pricing
-Genre
-Release and Support Strategy
But might be forgetting a few, so comparing it to it’s peers (Frontiers/Superstars/SxSG, all platformers) might not work as well

With CrossWorlds however there’s way more moving pieces, of course also considering the “Truck in the garage”, which is another not-so-straightforward case study of its own

Most similar case was Superstars, a game that also “didn’t meet sales expectations”, yet ended up being arguably pretty fine, as Sega expected it to be a “repeated seller” (or whatever term they used), which it was
Why didn’t it start as strong?
Ask the “Elephant in the room”

(maybe they don’t even have anything to lose to begin with)
And even then, all might be for nothing, as such info could simply be the biggest piece of dogshit ever told and believed

Very few people will ever get the chance to actually know for a fact their stuff

Gonna be real, one of the few situations that could be real is if a person that
1 - Is part of the Sonic community actively and knows what they’re talking about
2 - Has the necessary contacts to get such info
Simply decided to burn bridges on a random Thursday

Unless one of Sega’s video editors went rogue and started to leak the Sonic Central they’re currently editing right now (trust me guys) most times there’s almost no reason for a single leak to have detailed information on at least this year and a bit of the next

Not gonna lie I think there’s VERY few believable circumstances where a real leak will tell you about more than a single project, specially being detailed enough to make people immediately understand
Or did we forget about how the Ghost Girl was a mix of Sage and Amy each time

I’m 99% percent sure there’s info already going around, but whether or not on 4chan, we most likely won’t see it until we have anything to identify The Successor to Sonic Frontiers™ (like a codename)

Why would you even consider them? Because yeah, Frontiers did leak, and A LOT
But why would you be insanely skeptical now?
Because it feels like the new leaks are pretty much piggybacking off the ways Frontiers leaked

I hope I’m not wasting my luck with these because genuinely if I don’t pull Kitasan in her banner I will slam a door to my balls

“Not complaining tho” stfu, actually amazing pull

It’s not like the functionality changed because it’s the same system, you still get displayed the respective L1 and R1 tabs, they just moved those prompts with the standard menu ones (Ok, Back, Back to Title Screen) so it still works the same way, so what’s the deal here?
