Its obvious Sonic Lost World will no longer be a meaningful system seller for Nintendo. It really needed stellar reviews from the biggest sites. Instead it got mediocre to bad reviews. Yes, there are some good reviews but the publications posting those are just too small to reach the audience Gamespot and IGN reach.

As I see it, that exclusivity deal with Sega was a waste of money for Nintendo. I also wondered why this game was nowhere to see in the US Nintendo Direct, as i would've thought it would be a flagship exclusive for WiiU for the month of october.

Its worth noting that Sonic is really the brainchild of Hirokazu Yasuhara whom now works for Nintendo. I honestly believe he needs to return as producer for Sonic to be a darling among the gaming media as a whole.

Flop then? this is bad news...I knew alot of people were expecting this to help sell the WiiU. 

I dont think it will flop. Badly reviewed (as in not being stellar) Sonic games sometimes sell really well, but i wouldn't count on this game to be a meaningful system seller anymore.
