F*ck Sega.
They've been total idiots ever since their precious DC died.
So nutz to Sonic in Brawl. It'll probably happen, but if Sega is too proud to let a former competitor help them out (which they seem to be, considering all their stupid decisions regarding development last gen), then they don't need to show up in Brawl.
End of discussion re: Sega re: SSBB.
Nintendo knows this is a huge franchise. I'll bet they've gotten requests from just about every major Japanese dev asking for their characters to be in SSBB. It's a gauranteed 2-3 million seller in Japan alone, and at least that in America. You can't buy that kind of exposure for your characters.
I agree with that, like mad. Sega isn't the same company that gave us the amazing experiences that were Saturn and Dreamcast. Sega's second-rate, generic, and no longer very.. well, good.
Thats because, for all intents and purposes, its not the same Sega. Sammy bought them out so they could whore Sega characters on their pachinko machines, and Yuji Naka quit Sonic Team, so there are a few distinct reasons Sega has gone from Great to Bad.
For all of Sega's faults and issues, Sonic is still a very popular franchise (just with entirely new gamers, i.e. I personally know of no old school Sonic fan who claims to enjoy the newer Sonic games). By putting Sonic in you're going to attract both crowds, however.
