Sega's classic IPs appeal to the Wii crowd moreso than HD crowd
Sega has gotten raped so far developing for HD systems - poor sales even on critically acclaimed games, although most of Sega's HD games weren't terribly good.
Low development cost = low risk for games like NiGHTS and Samba de Amigo
Sonic is a hit with kids and casuals and guess where those are...
Sonic sees an opportunity to capture the underserved core Wii crowd and is doing a great job with HoTD, MadWorld & Conduit. Hope it pays off...
Wii has been very, very good to Sega. So it only makes sense for them to put more and more towards it.
