So Sonic Boom failed to place in the Top 40 in the UK. I'm disappointed with how badly the game was in its final state. Esspically since naughty dog people worked on it. :/
Ex-Naughty Dog people, it seems that maybe there was a reason for that! lol

Possibly.
The reality is that the game was rushed for a Christmas release. SEGA obviously didn't learn from Sonic'06 when the same damn thing happened. I honestly hope this kill's the Sonic Boom IP, maybe SEGA will learn a lesson this way.

I'd say not another console release. Keep it handheld exclusive as well as keep on with the cartoon.
Why even have a game at all, even if the cartoon is good? It's in that weird place Street Fighter was once where despite being a decent game series it still got a typically shitty licensed game for the movie.
If Sonic Boom ever exists as a thing a year from now it's clear the cartoon and merch should be at the forefront. Forget a game. Hell; every other country besides from France is getting the cartoon next year.
Yeah, the 3DS one isn't that bad to be honest, it's got some good ideas in there.
Still, the Wii U one is a funny old beast. In the UK you're asking people to buy a game based on a TV show that's a year away at least. Even if it was a great game, that's a hard sell.
