I honestly avoid anything Sonic anymore. I haven't enjoyed a Sonic game in so long, that i quit even hoping for one.

another proof that Switch owners have low standards, but nothing new after the sucess of games like splatoon and the excessive praise of Zelda BOTW

?? Don't know what your point is, but the original post was talking about Sonic games. And besides, FIFA and Cod, as much as you don't like them, have been well received by critics so lets stop talking as if the were shovelware or something like that

Yeah, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on xbox 360 is way better than DMC on ps3

Agree, just like Knack sales, all reviews also have very low standard when didn't choose Knack as GOTY 2013

Sonic Forces is what we’re talking about here though. I’m just wondering - how do poor games sell so well on the Switch? Add 1-2 Switch to the list.

Sonic Forces sold best on Switch because the majority of the fanbase plays Nintendo consoles now.

Bomberman and 1-2-Switch sold well because they were both launch titles and exclusives.

Poor games also sell on other consoles, just look at Knack. It was a first party launch title, just like 1-2-Switch.

 

You're making alot of assumptions.

It's simpler than that. Switch is a family friendly Nintendo console. It appeals more to parents and younger audiences wich are more likely to get a Sonic title despite the quality level.

I doubt Sega fans are majorly on the switch. I doubt they are majorly on anywhere specificly. As when good Sonic games come out, they sell well on the "twins". Actually, i wouldn't be surprised if Sonic Mania sold much more on PS4 just cause of the installed base.

So, lets not read more than what is here. Sonic forces sold more on switch according to VGC despite appauling ratings. Good? Not sure i'd consider it good cause it's helping perpetuate a series of games with dwindling quality. Hopefully, it doesn't dilute the message too much.

I was talking about the Sonic fanbase specifically, not the Sega fanbase. Nintendo is indeed the most family-friendly console maker, which is why I'm assuming that most Sonic fans own a Switch.
