The last version of this thread was closed because of flame wars. Now, I want to know your personal opinion. NO. Flame wars. Please.
My favorite is Mario, and I will elaborate.
Simply put, Mario is more successful than Sonic. Mario sells more games, Mario survived the console war, and kids know Mario more (to an extent). I never see Sonic toys, comics, etc. in stores. I see Sonic shirts, but that's about it. At least I see Mario more in stores.
Sonic is dead to me now. I will never have a fully satisfactory game in the Sonic series. I want a Sonic Adventure-esque game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U full of content, and you can play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy and Eggman. I will never, ever, ever, EVER get a game like that. EVER.
That's why I went over to Mario. It's more satisfactory to me. The Sonic fanbase is full of drama.
Now, please, state your opinion. If you disagree with me, that is fine, but discuss it intelligently. If only 13-year-olds and above are allowed here, then most of us are high-school aged who should have the ability to discuss like advanced human beings.
