Sonic has branched out a lot just not as much as mario and pokemon. The reason that Sonic is suffering is because Sonic team is trying to redefine sonic so that he fits into 3D gaming. This causes us to get new characters that are useless and gimmicks that just don't work out.
Poor storylines, dumb gimmicks, awful new characters, and lack of speed are the major downfall of most console sonic games. Sonic Adventure and Adventure 2 had poor cameras at well, yet those two at least managed to be successful and classified as good sonic games.
95% of gamers don't know they are noobs, the 5% who do won't be noobs for long
