Your last sentence was so true...........(why do people think a platformer absolutely needs a movie-deep psychological story anyway?).......... I'd go berserk over Sega selling Sonic to anyone too. Sega isn't on the verge of bankrupt right?... Right?...

Also, Nintendo isn't as "smart" as you think and have done average to mediocre games (in the eyes of some anyway) for classic series that are not Mario or Zelda, like Metroid, Star Fox or Kirby. However it has sure more well-known IPs to offer. A lot more.

I'm more about quality over quantity so I hope Sega will perfect Sonic, bring back some cool series (Jet Set Radio for example) OR create a good new one (Hell Yeah! looks promising but Sega is just publishing that one right?...)

Concerning the 'reboot'. Well it's a rumor but I think the series will be "going backward" in the timeline anyway. What I mean by that is, to get rid of a big chunk of the cast without writing it out of the timeline Sega just has to make games that take place between 4 and Adventure. They'll have plenty of space to work with!
