Should Sonic be like Mario?

I'd hope Mario would be more like Sonic and have more frequent games in the series!

A mario game is no greater than the olympics or world cup, yet we see one new game every 6 years!

As for Sonic Unleashed, I really liked both the day time and werehog stages. What I don't like however, is a completely 2D Sonic game in a 3D capable console. 2D games stay on handhelds.

Here are all the games Mario has made apperances in the last 2 years (2007-2008). Quite a lot... Sonic makes lots of games, but mario makes more.

Mario Kart Wii

Mario Super Sluggers

Mario Strikers Charged

Mario Party DS

Mario Party 8

Super Mario Galaxy

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Super Paper Mario

Wario Land: Shake It

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

 

Sonic and the Secret Rings

Mario & Sonic at the Olympics

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Sonic Riders

Samba Da Amigo - this really isnt a sonic game

Sega Tennis Superstars

Sonic Unleashed

Sonic & the Black Knight

Sonic Rush - 2005 game

Sonic Rush Adventures

Sonic Chronicles

11 Sonic Titles (or appearances) on Nintendo platforms vs 9 Mario in past 2 years.   Both have 8 appearances on Wii.  So pretty equal really.   Both are terribly overused.

OT: Sega does not have to go every 5-6 years like Mario but I think ALL franchises should only come out with a new addition when they have a great game that propels the franchise forward and not this yearly money grab crap.

Good reply.  Few kinks Ive pointed out above but point taken...
