SEGA has said they're pulling average Sonic games from retailers to keep the number of blue hedgehog titles "under control," and to help new launches.
Having too many from the back catalogue can cause "cannibalisation," and hurt future releases. Three Sonic games are due by the end of this year.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
CEO Haruki Satomi said Sega will "take these lessons into account for future initiatives"
Rovio “found it difficult to advance its initially planned business development,” says Sega.

releasing 3 sonic games in 2 months is ridiculous
So.... every Sonic game released in the past two gens is being pulled?

Cleaning up the shit from the shelves and starting over...

as you see,even sega can see there were BAD sonics sitting on the shelf.
I also loved the Sonic Adventure games on the Sega Dreamcast. I think some of the lesser Sonic games should be pulled. I have high hopes for this new Sonic, I just wish it would come out in a disk format instead of a digital download.
Let's hope Sonic is back on track.
