Sonic the Hedgehog was released in 1991 as the release title for sega's latest console (the genisis/ mega drive).
It was developed by the division of sega known vas "sonic team" and then published by sega themselves. Making Sega a 1st party delevoper (at the timne)
Originally it was avaliable exclusively on the sega genesis, then latewr when sega stopped maki9ng their own consoles, sonic the hedgehog was a featrure on many ps2 sonic games e.g. sopnic mega collection.
It is now avaliable on all online stores as a downloadable game. e.g. XBL arcade, PSN and Steam.
It was reasonably cheap to make, because before Sonic was a game character he was the mascot of Sega.
As a result it made $150,000,000 minus the cost of production In it's first year. Mainly because it was the release title for the Sega Genesis (/mega-drive). If you wanted to buy the Cartridge individually it cost $40.
The game was distributed by all major electronics stores in Japan, and then in the USA. After the huge success in both countries, it was distributed through out Europe
