My guess it's because Sega were sticking to their guns before venturing to the cinema business. Besides Sonic '06 felt more like a cheap Final Fantasy knock-off than movie worthy, though eprhaps it would of been better of as a Direct-to-DVD film.

I think Night of the Werehog was Sega's way of "testing the water" to see if Sega can cut it making a cinematic movie. NotW was met with possitive response and I guess they decide to go with it.
