@Moon The thing is that Sonic actually has nice enough sales. The entire meme of Sonic "never being good" "series being low quality" etc is entirely on Sega for fucking up multiple times in a row. 06 was released unfuckingfinished, buggy as fuck... They literally released a fucking beta. The whole thing is ENTIRELY on them and they just keep making bad decisions after bad decisions and that's just puzzling

Keep in mind that 06 came out after it was shown that Sonic overwhelmingly sold on Gamecube, and then they released some jank shit on Wii and released a big mainline title on the HD consoles only for them to go way over budget most likely and fuck it up and continually fuck it up since then

The Sonic Boom story is also fucking amazing. Game was finished. Oops, we have a contract with Nintendo, guess we'll release it on Wii after all... Oops, the cryengine doesn't work properly on Wii
