Another Sonic fan who speak the truth! Because the comment I wanna post was a response to another comment, I'll post that one first:

Maybe the company just weren’t prepared for the cost of developing a game on the new consoles and had to go cheap to try and find a way to save up cash.

Fans barely buy Sonic games no matter what console they are on nowadays, with only a select few games gaining any major profit.

The fan base rarely grows, sometimes shrinks and takes some time for that shrink to return if it does…

Bring more people in and make them fans and help make them spend money on Sonic titles and you will get the big budget game you want.

Until then shut up and take what you get. Give table scraps to SEGA, get the same in return. More money can’t be spent if it isn’t given and fans provide enough cash for basically, if not barely enough development for PS2 and Wii quality Sonic titles. -_-

They put bigger budgets into franchises bringing in the most cash, and year by year Sonic sales don’t tell SEGA its worth it as it once did.

Blame yourselves.

Sonic fanbase is shrinking? And people are surprised? Well, let’s look at this mess from Sonic fans perspective.
– SEGA made only Sonic playable after 2006 and ditched all other craracters who are not Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy or Eggman from stories. Every character has their fanbase and when SEGA did what they did, they lost a hell lot of fans just by doing that
– There used to be a lot of fans who loved Sonic games for lore. SEGA clearly don’t care about the lore in their games. Heck, Archie comics have better lore, characterization and stuff like that than the company making the series! Of course fans moved there (to read the archie comics) or left the series.
– Sonic games used to have a more balanced tone and even when the tone was a bit too dark it was still more appealing to more people than that happy-go-lucky-rainbows-mario-bullshit-everywhere. Sonic used to be for everyone but now it looks like it’s meant to be for little children
– Sonic used to be a dude with attitude but now he’s barely cool anymore. He used to fight giant scary-looking robots, jump from helicopters and used their parts as snowboards, fight Gods of destruction, be in acient places of the past, escaping the prison, teleporting the whole space colony and saving the planet, etc., etc., etc.
What does he do now? He is saving little animals and fights extremely cartoony silly-looking one-dimentional idiots with unfitting names. He’s also copying a certain plumber in almost everything
– SEGA hired some morons who don’t give two shits about the series and neither do SEGA
– Sonic games used to have high replayability. Now you can beat one in a day and then there’s little to do
– Sonic games used to look beautiful, they were among the best looking games on the consoles in it’s genre

Should I continue? I think it’s enough already. Point is, SEGA themselves did pretty much EVERYTHING they could to make the fanbase shrink and since Sonic is now a Mario rip-off, there are a lot of nintendo fanboys dwelling on SONIC fan sites. But they would always buy a Mario game over a Sonic game.

Great job, SEGA. You already killed almost all characters and the gaming universe is already dead. Keep it up and you will kill the series completely, which already looks like a zombie, with that nostalgia bullshit everywhere (done wrong).
This game flopped. I hope it will teach SEGA a lesson.
