Or you could look at the stats and see that Sonic isn't failing, and that the main reason Lost World isn't selling well is because the Wii U isn't selling well, and the bad reviews, if anything, prevented Lost World from significantly boosting sales. There are obviously other reasons, but still, sales figures imply this connection.
