It's not even remotely comparable. Sonic 06 is barely even a game with how unfinished and buggy it is. Scarlet/Violet has bugs, yes, but it's very much a full, finished game with some technical issues (that I think were even patched later, if I'm not mistaken).

This is an absurd reach to make.

Gen 9 is the fastest-selling Nintendo game to date and one of the fastest-selling ever. Despite what few similarities it has to Sonic 06, the differences are huge.
Sonic 06 still brings a shudder to Sonic fans and a lot of the gaming public. Despite a lot of disdain for Gen 9, I don't think it will reach that level.

I feel a lot of users didn’t read the OP: I’m not saying they are comparably poor in quality (as explicitly stated in OP) nor am I even making a statement on the commercial consequences of each entry. What I am saying is that both games have left a sour taste in the gaming community’s mouths following each’s release, to a point where even a solid entry (Sonic Unleashed, Legends Z-A) is being treated as a terribly poor release.

(Why I even open up nuanced discussion here is beyond me. Nobody cares to engage with more than 5 seconds of thought.)
