"The strong sales numbers off the mark for 'Sonic Adventure 2 Battle' for Nintendo GameCube are a true testament to the star power of our legendary mascot, Sonic The Hedgehog, and to the strength of Sega as a third-party developer and publisher," said Peter Moore, president and COO, Sega of America. "With a 40-year heritage of incredible content and franchises, Sega's goal is to compete for the position of leading global publisher of interactive entertainment."
Selling through more than 70,000 units in its debut week -- which represented 44 percent of total Nintendo GameCube software sales --"Sonic Adventure 2 Battle" is Sega's second Nintendo GameCube game, and its second success on the platform.
