There were many reasons for the game's bad sales:

1. It was Wii U Exclusive (After seeing only the first trailer many were disapointed and just sort of ignored the game's existance.)

2. It got Mixed to bad reviews (Critics were bombing the game with bad reviews (my guess mainly to do with there lack of skill at the game.))

3. It was diffirent (The last diffirent Sonic game (Sonic Unleashed) got bombed with bad reviews by everyone, despite being in many peoples opinion the best Sonic game made to date.)
