Sonic's main ability is running at supersonic speeds, while Silver's ability is telekinesis. Sonic hones in on his enemies, while Silver can throw a box at them from a safe distance. Silver is cautious, while Sonic would rather just attack enemies anyway without thinking! It;s why he was in Sonic Rivals.

But yeah, in Sonic '06 he was incredibly powerful, though it was difficult to say if it was more fault on the games programming.

Sonic Generations show him powerful enough to keep ahead of Sonic in terms of speed, but I guess makes sense given psychokinesis is the mental projection of the mind and "thought" being faster than lightspeed.
