Sonic is definitely not "incredibly popular" in Europe. Without Mario M&S would have sold just like, say, Sega Superstar Tennis. And you know it.
Just like everywhere else, new Sonic games are greeted with a tired yawn, and rightfully so. Sonic games never had the substance of a good Mario game - I even dare to say that the very concept of Sonic (high speed Jump'n'Run) is flawed. Last week I gave Sonic Rush on the DS another try, and it's just annoying. You spend most of the time pressing to the right and watching stuff happen. You can hardly tell foreground from background. Too much trial & error. Absolutely no charm. Charisma-free characters, all alike.
-End of rant-
Don't forget, it's just my opinion. But it's beyond me how anybody could compare Sonic games to Mario games.
