Sonic will be a system seller?

Pfft.

Sonic a system seller.

 

In all seriousness, a big no. The best selling Sonic titles are the Olympic Games ones with Mario, and excluding those the best selling recent Sonic title managed just over two and a half million units. Lost World will help move units, certainly, but it won't turn the Wii U from failing into a success.

It probably doesn't help that Lost World looks very similar to the recent 3D Mario titles.

for me, that is the reason of its [modest] sucess.

I agree, that certainly helps Sonic sell as a game. The issue is that it won't convince many other people to buy a Wii U. If Mario and Sonic are such similar games, the people who are likely to buy a Sonic game are those who are likely to already buy/have bought the Wii U to play Mario. In other words, it doesn't reach out to a different crowd. Helps the individual game sales, but not that of the console it's on.
