Works for both parties, although I think Sega got the better deal. M&S does not sell unless their is Mario in it. SSBB would sell regardless, Sonic just adds to the hype. |
No doubt that Sega benefits more from M&S than NIntendo from SSBB, but I doubt that this is the end of the agreement. Sonic has been doing very well on Nintendo systems (one of the few 3rd parties who sold on the GCN) and I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of Wii-exclusive Sonic software in the coming years. Plus I can't shake the suspicion that this is only the beginning of the Mario/Sonic era.
