I don't think real sales statistics were ever released on a platform-by-platform breakdown.

The last official numbers we got were that by March 09, the game had sold a combined 2.45 million copies. I've heard that it crossed 3 million, but we have no sales data to back that up.

(I know you weren't asking for combined WW sales, but I always like to point out that Unleashed sold well. :lol)

Unleashed was at least competently designed relative to the rest of the series. On the PS2 version, I only fell through the floor once.

I'm starting to her word that what that guy from the other forum said may just be a load of B.S. I guess we'll know for sure when the next issue of Nintendo Power comes out.
EDIT: Looks like the rumor was true!!
Nuts can't link without being banned. Basically the find the computer room has scans very small and blurry, but they do show off a donut/sweets world and the DS version looking VERY Sonic Rush.

Also from Shadowthehedgehog at findthecomputerroom.....
Interesting. Also, Sonic model looks to be the one from Unleashed. Not 100% sure.

It's not hard, as I've played Unleashed Wii (beaten the story actually) it's easy for me to tell it's the Unleashed Wii model.
Of course, maybe there are decent differences that will be noticeable when we see the clear shots, but it screams Unleashed Wii model to me.
Sonic in space.
Okay maybe they're taking some influences from Mario Galaxy, but it really works for Mario since that was the first time he was in space in 3D. Sonic, on the other hand, has always been in space since Sonic 2 for the Genesis. This won't be new territory for Sonic, so what are they really planning?

So is the 'Unleashed' team working on Sonic Colors or is it just the storybook team? With Sonic 4, and now Sonic Colors coming out, I don't think that we'll be seeing Unleashed 2 this year.
But seriously, if the Unleashed team is also working on Colors it would be a startling bit of common sense from Sega, giving their biggest Sonic fanbase a serious effort and all that.

Wow... maybe the trailers will convince me otherwise, but other than "CRAZY FOOD LEVELS," that's Sonic Unleashed for Wii and Sonic Rush for DS. These don't look like new games, they look like level packs.

Do they let the US team even touch Sonic games (or even a western developer)? Maybe it needs that sort of change.
Though they have to be working on something for the HD consoles. (which team is working on Sonic 4?!)

No.
I would say, "Oh, someone found some unfinished levels on the Unleashed disc."
Like I said, there's a good chance the trailers at E3 will change my mind. Maybe the Wisp integration is enough, but they're definitely making this one a bit on the cheap.

Even if it seems like Unleashed 1.5, it's better than anything since Heroes; none of the stuff that's utter crap gameplay or concept-wise, like guns, vehicles, Werehog, and swords.
Basically the safest route possible but it's a good one.
i saw the scans !!
man does this game looks really good ! even with those blurry images i can see the beauty of this game ! also levels design seems really crazy looking !
as for Unleashed team , i really doubt if they have anything to do with this game .
they are absolutely have something under development for the 20th Anniversary next year . and if they started working on that after they were done from the development of Unleashed ( most likely ) then the project goes into 3 years of development , which is a really long time considering the skills they gained from working with their new Engine in their previous work .
EDIT : but again i have to say that Sonic Team now days is one ( single R&D studio ) . whether they are still working within separate groups ( inside the studio ) or not remain unknown

Sonic Unleashed 2 is absolutely fine with me.
Especially seeing as how this looks more like the 360 version than the Wii version, mechanics-wise (point-based score, unsegmented boost gauge, rail switching).

Ah, didn't notice the first two. But rail-switching was actually in the final bits of the game in Unleashed Wii although briefly, I'll just leave it at that.

Every time I scroll past this thread and see "Sonic Colors," I find myself wishing for a Shadow the Hedgehog and Colors (unreleased Gizmondo GTA clone) mash-up.
You know... just to see if Sega would actually do it. Just to see how much further the franchise could fall.

Buh-Bye!!
I upscaled the scans to get a better look at them/
Few things new I noticed....
A.) If you can make out the text, it looks like it says that red color energy turns Sonic into a fireball that can ignite rockets.
B.) Those tricky rockets from Sonic Rush are back in the DS version!
3.) Can't be sure, but the DS model may be a new one.

Well, it's in the Perfect Dark Gaia fight. But that's only because the level design was borrowed from the 360 version.Hero of Legend said:Ah, didn't notice the first two. But rail-switching was actually in the final bits of the game in Unleashed Wii although briefly, I'll just leave it at that.
It was amusing seeing the "R2" pop up (PS2 version) for the first time when rail switching was such a prominent part of the 360 version. It was in the second level.

Some of the enemies in the DS version look like they were cut and pasted with no modification directly from the first Sonic Rush.
That seems sort of lazy...

It does seem like they are recycling old models and material to make this game. The Wii version is Sonic Unleashed without the Werehog, while the DS version is Sonic Rush 3.

Well they sorta did the same between SR and BK, they reused Sonic's model and just gave it better lighting and new level designs, new enemies, and whatnot.

I'm of the opinion it's a good thing that they reuse what worked and drop what didn't work. That's the way to go to improve the franchise as the major problem so far was, that they did a whole bunch of things well on most Sonic games, but also made a bunch of mistakes. Instead of trying to refine this, they always just dropped everything and took a new route. That's not a good way to repair the series' image.
I dunno. I'm of the opinion that if the Sonic-only stages were refined and the werehog was completely taken out, Sonic Unleashed would have been a heck of a lot more bearable to play. Sonic Colors seems to be doing that with the attempt of making the Whisps act as your powerups (no different that flame shields, water shields, lightning shields with extra movesets maybe?), so I'm all for it *IF* it's tight and the whisps are actual powerups and not game breaking or style changing gimmickry.
As for Colors DS, I loved Rush Adventure and was ambivalent at best towards Rush so all they have to do is improve on that a bit without changing and they've got me sold. I don't care if its not "dark" or h"as an engaging storyline" or is for the younger set. Sonic works best when its simpler and not bogged down with shitty friends with shitty gameplay and is bright and colorful anyway.
Looks more interesting than Sonic 2 HD AKA Sonic 4 anyway...

Rush Adventure had some pretty nice music, I thought.

You can say it wasn't "as good" as the original Sonic Rush's music, but I think that's doing a disservice to it. Sonic Rush's soundtrack was "Jet Set Radio Lite", Sonic Rush Adventure's was much more along the lines of what you'd hear in something like Sonic CD, I felt.
