The Wii is finished already, aside from long awaited games like Zelda or the Last Story I don't think other games will make numbers to speak off on it. Sega at this time is more probably working on some WiiU games.

Because according to a crazy rumor they are making Sonic Dimensions on Wii U. Ah, and Colors started very slow as Generations, iirc.

I am quite surprised about this too. I mean the demographic for that sort of game is on the Wii, surely moreso than the other 2 home consoles and sales so far seem to be bearing testament to this. It does seem kind of annoying and frustrating when 3rd parties act this way. I mean 170k for the lead platform ATM. No way is that going to sell anything close to a million unless bundled. Does seem a really stupid business decision on Sega's part. Perhaps they like losing money? Judging by the fact that the last Sonic game on the Wii sold over 1m then you would expect this one to get somewhere near that if it appeared on the Wii. A really puzzling decision by Sega IMO.

oh please, the game just came out, lets wait awhile before we shout "doom" and SONIC 06 did 2 mil on PS360 and that game sucked

hey, you didnt like it, you didnt like it, its all good, lot of games i dont care for that alot of people like

1. how is that an insult? its better than nothing.  2. the Sonic Rush games are good so i dont see a problem  3. How do you know the 3DS version is gimped?? Did you play it??

I'm not entirely sure. I was told at PAX that the development team developed the game with 3D in mind. They even told me I had to play the game in 3D at PAX because that was how they intended it to be played. Honestly I thought 3D was a disaster on 360 and the PS3 version wasn't much better. Personally I prefered it in 2D but the 3DS game was pretty good as well.

But if 3D was Sega's focus it makes sense a Wii version never made it to market. I haven't heard if WiiU will be 3D compatable but assuming it isn't Sega might not bring it to that console either. It doesn't make sense that a 2D version never made it to Wii mainly because the 2D HD version is likely what everyone wants to play anyways.

Sega is being dumb, Nintendo's consoles are Sonic's home. Sega's consoles were directly competing with Nintendo for the exact same market base and the same consumers. Their franchises fit perfectly on Nintendo's platforms especially Sonic amd for Sega to throw a Nintendo centric title on the competitors platforms and not Nintendo's is just foolish.

I think Sega might reconsider and bring it to WiiU at launch simply because they will see the dismal sales on 360/PS3. But that will be to late WiiU is a new platform without an established user base meaning they can't sell to the installed Wii base. They will also lose out because many WiiU owners will already own PS3/360.

In the end I think Sega missed an oppurtunity to sell a million or so copies on Wii. They can't recoup that loss by launching on WiiU. In fact I think a WiiU launch would be a waste of resources. Its not that porting it wouldn't be cheap it could be done in 4 weeks or so, but the cost of manufacturing copies, getting it distributed, marketing it and getting it on shelves just doesn't seem worth it.

Sega lost out!

1. Disagree with you there, just simply dont play the game.

2. I guess thats true

3. damn, thought it would turn out better, thanks for the info. I think ill wait till ive had my fill of the PS360 version

Because when it was first announced, they said they wanted Sonic Generations on HD systems only. As for why it's on 3DS, who the fuck knows?

I see where you are coming from, but its up to the consumer to find out if that game is worth getting or not. SC legends, i could tell from the jump how that was going to go, it looked bad and the reviews and little play time I had confirmed it. So i didnt get it, simple
