To Sega, Sonic was a great successes, it was Sega's cash cow for all of the Sega Genesis age, carried them on in the Sega CD/Sega Saturn days.
Sonic fully entered the 3D age with Sonic R for the Saturn, but it wasn't till Sonic Adventure that everyones favorite Blue Hedgehog fully made use of his new 3D environments and speed.
Sonic took some time off after Sega had announced that they no longer made video game systems, eventually moving Sonic to the Gamecube and Playstation 2.
Sega now finally deciding to give us a new Sonic game, but that was a failure. Sega released Sonic the Hedgehog Next Gen for Xbox 360 and PS3, which was very buggy, unrealistic and just boring in general. They tried again with Sonic and the Secret Rings which was an improvement, but just didn't get the attention of fans.
Now Sega has tried to bury the failure of Sonic under a large carpet to make way for the next Sonic game, Sonic Unleashed, calling it the next chapter in the Sonic Adventure series. Not much is known about the game other than Sonic seemingly transforming into a Werewolf Hedgehog hybrid and will be somewhat more darker than anything before. Stay tuned for more information on Sonic Unleashed.
