I don't mind series taking concepts from other series, but this time it has gotten too many similarities to a point where more of the same would make it difficult to create any hype aside from mainly the die-hard sonic fans, which pale in comparison to Mario. And compete with Mario at his own game? I'm not trying to be mean, but competition requires a challenge, and comparing the hype among Mario Galaxy back in 06 and Lost World right now....well....there's no competition! ;)

The hype for Sonic Lost World is very comparable, and in some cases even greater than Mario 3D World. Sonic is taking on Mario at his own game right now.

I said compared to Mario Galaxy, since people are talking about how its "OMG Super Sonic Galaxy!!!". And though I have little if any hype for SM3DW, I don't believe the SLW hype beats 3D World's hype, but I guess we'll see with sales and reception then in the future.

And speaking of SM3DW, there is a lot of mixed thoughts about it all over the place, especially since people had expected something more amazing, so I wouldn't be surprised if SLW was close to it in this point in time. But I can almost guarrantee that 3DWorld will beat SWL in overall reception and sales. EAD Tokyo has proven to have done a better job at pleasing gamers than the Sonic Team. 

I was talking about hype, not sales.

If you look at sites like Gamefaqs, there's more discussion on Lost World than 3D World, same goes for a lot of forums, including this one.
