Well, considering SEGA are 'penny-less' they seem to be investing a lot of the remainder of their fortunes into the cost of a new, shitty Sonic game (namely the crappiest 3D platformer I have ever played; Sonic The Hedgehog for the 360, mainly due to the loading times). I hate to be the one saying this, although I have to be frank about it; Sonic is officially dead, and I really cannot see the Wii game being a 'return to form' as many people claim it will be.
Funny how as soon as Yuji Naka and a few other members leave the Sonic Team, all of the games from them go dead shitty.
