I feel that the original 2D games shared an accuracy for a time until we got the widely anticipated Sonic Adventure come along and that sets the groundwork basis for SA2, Sonic Heroes and Shadow the hedgehog (possibly Sonic 06 as well.) Creating a new canon phase. Then Sonic Unleashed is released and that sets a new path for follow-up games such as Sonic Colours, Generations and Lost world and that feels like a very new continuation from there.

I feel that with each evolutionary step we take with a milestone Sonic game, It sort of feels like a new beginning from then on. I still think it's all canon don't get me wrong here. I feel it doesn't always connect completely with previous Sonic games that much after.
