Wow, I just realized that Sonic Lost World has been out for more than a month in North America and Japan and almost 2 months in Europe, and it's only sold 80k copies on the Wii U and 100k on the 3DS. That is an even bigger sales flop than I thought it was, especially considering the fact that Generations has sold 2.88 million copies.

Goes against what some people were saying about Sonic being better off on Nintendo platforms.

Yeah, I've said that they were wrong from the start. When Sega first announced the 2 year 3 game Sonic Nintendo exclusivity deal I said it was a mistake. Generations has sold just over 2 million copies combined on the 360 and PS3, with another 90k on PC (not including digital sales). An extra 2+ million in sales is alot to give up. I guess Sega thought that the high Sonic sales on the Wii would translate over to the Wii U, but the Wii U has proven to be far less popular than the Wii so far. I just hope that once the exclusivity deal is over, that Sega will copy Generation's successful formula in a new next-gen multiplatform game and fix what issues people did have with Generations, that could be just the thing that Sonic needs to see a comeback. 

Sonic does about the same, wherever he goes, and he doesn't get there quickly.
