Sonic Team's new PS2 game ...

[MVS]

Is it that much stranger than SA2 on the gc?

[Yoshi]

Yes, but it is even moreso now that SA2 and SMC are on the GC.

They sold pretty well, but not a million units. I believe Super Monkey Ball sold about 350,000 units in Japan and another 300,000 in the US. If I recall right, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle was in the top 5, on the charts, for only a couple of months, same with VF4. A top 5 seller in the US only has to sell about 100,000 units to be in the top 5, as most software below that number is selling at least 30,000 units.

Also note that VF4 was on the PS2, the very system that people are in question of, when it come to a game being developed by Sonic Team, for it.

Why?

[Yoshi]

It is unlikely on its own because the perceived userbase of the GameCube is the same group that would buy Sonic.

Combined with the fact that SA2 and SMC are on the GameCube, it becomes more likely that Sega would want to keep some continuity.

[MVS]

Maybe they want more sales. I doubt sega will stay on the XB much longer.

I would love to see Sega pick a system and stick with it, even if it is the PS2. Chasing a company's games all over hell's half acre sucks.

They are a 3rd party developer you know? Why do they have to stick with one system. If they were a 2nd party developer, it would make sense.

They don't have to. I said I would like to see it. I would also like to see Capcom and Konami do the same. It would save me a lot of cash.

SMC?
