Seems like a bad move putting so much money into a dead franchise.

Sonic's been low-tier, but consistent. Certainly more reliable than anything else Sega has in its stable.

They're not doing themselves any favors by releasing these Sonic games that review 60-70's in the Metacritic. It's hard to remember the last time we got a good Sonic game.

It's been far too long since there was a great Sonic game... I'd consider Generations and Colors to be decent Sonic games... Certainly titles that gave me hope for better games to build off of then... then it kind of went backwards again after that. Sonic Boom certainly looks interesting to me... I have some hope for it putting Sonic back on track, but I've been disappointed many times before... But the development team seems so promising.
