Sonic can turn the WiiU around. Will Sonic help more than Mario?

[forethought14]

It'll probably give Wii U a better boost than Pikmin did (there are probably more Sonic fans than Pikmin fans), but boost the hardware sales more than Mario? Lol, no. As much as I dislike SM3DW quite a bit, there's no way it's losing to Sonic.

No one game is going to cause a turnaround, Sonic wont do it, Donkey Kong wont, 3D World wont, Mario Kart wont, Smash Bros wont. But the combined effort of all those titles releasing in a short amount of time could very well do the trick.

By this time next year we could be looking at a Wii U library of NSMBU, Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario 3D World, Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Sonic Lost World, Sochi Olympics, Yarn Yoshi, Wonderful 101, Wind Waker HD, Lego City Undercover, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, X, SMTxFE, Bayonetta 2, ZombiU, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Scribblenauts Unlimited/Unmasked, Injustice, Resident Evil Revelations, Assasins Creed 3/4, Batman Arkham City/Origins, COD Black Ops 2/Ghosts, Skylanders Giants/Swap Force, Darksiders 2, Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell, Disney Infinity, Just Dance 4/5, NFS Most Wanted, Sonic All Stars Racing. 

Thats 40 high quality games spanning multiple genres and a hell of a lineup for a console less than 2 years old.

To be fair, the question is whether Sonic will help Wii U more than Mario. But in a sense, you're right here about fully turning Wii U around.
