What "market pressure" are you talking about? The game topped charts because it seemingly wasn't afraid to have an attractive female lead while backing that up with fun gameplay. The difference with the Sonic movie was that no one liked the original design, and the movie wasn't patched after people bought tickets.
You know there are a shit load of games with attractive female leads and amazing gameplay right?
You say it as if developers are terrified to make attractive girl characters...
