Title: Sonic Lost World Sells Poorly in Japan
Post by: bluelander on October 31, 2013, 02:46:05 PM

Sonic isn't looking to good in Japan...

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/35860

The 3DS version of Sonic Lost World sold under 5,000 units in its first week in Japan, and the Wii U version didn’t even hit the chart.

The Wii U version was well-liked in our review, though the 3DS version didn’t fare quite so well. Is this another nail in the Blue Blur’s coffin, or just a speed bump? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Sonic really never does well in Japan. While the franchise probably doesn't have the terrible reputation Western territories (where, ironically, Sonic does much better overall) invented for it, but Sonic was never anywhere near as big in Japan. I wouldn't see this as "a nail in the coffin," but that's me.

This is yet another sign that the Wii U is dying.

Don't worry. Sega will keep forcing Sonic on the masses, whether they want it or not. I mean, if all the rest of the crap they've put Sonic in hasn't killed him yet, this certainly won't.

Is it too late for Nintendo to call for a Mulligan?
