<h1>Sonic the Hedgehog 1991 Sonic the Hedgehog is a platform game released June 23rd, 1991 by Sonic Team. It was published by Sega for the Mega Drive/Genesis system, and was sent out to North America, Europe, and Japan. During the holiday season in 1991, the Genesis had outsold the Nintendo nearly 2-1 because of the game's release. This led to Sega taking over Nintendo with a 55% control over the 16-bit console market, which was the first time Nintento hadn't been the console leader since December 1985. This also led to selling 4 million copies of the game, being the 2nd most popular game for Genesis right behind Sonic 2, which sold 6 million copies. <img src="https://www.wikispaces.com/site/embedthumbnail/file/SONIC%21.doc?h=52&w=320" class="WikiFile" id="wikitext@@file@@SONIC!.doc" title="File: SONIC!.doc" width="320" height="52" /> <img src="http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/ga/buzz/feature/vg16/sonic_1_screen.jpg" alt="" title="" style="height: 130px; width: 193px;" /></h1>
