Sonic has appeared in over 60 games in his life, everything from racing, to party games, to adventure games. He’s had a cameo in close to 150 games. Sonic has made some odd appearances in games such as Shining Force II, the Simpsons Game, Phantasy Star Universe, as well as many others. Sonic games have sold over 80 million copies. Sonic has appeared on a lot of different consoles such as the Genesis, 360, Wii and Master System. He has also appeared on iOS, in the arcade, on the N-Gage, and the Game.com.

That's including spin-offs and sequels.
