Truthfully I'm not surprised. SEGA has been going down the drain for a while now.

If anything they will probably cut back from releasing a Sonic game every year to maybe one every other year.
It better not be a Mobile only deal for Sonic cause that's almost not fair cause not everyone plays games on their phones
Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

It's not. They're also doing Downloadable Contents too.

From what I've read on other sites, Sega's current position hasn't changed since before the "Boom" series was launched. They've been experiencing this for over a year already.
And from what I've gathered, SoJ is unaffected by this reformation and Sonic Team is still in the clear. If anything, it's the American branch that's suffering and turning towards moble/PC games. If all goes well, we should be getting at least one more Sonic game for the consules (possibly for the 25 Anniversary).

I wouldn't get my hopes up about one more console game if I were you.

Remember SEGA does better in Japan. They may still pull it offI wouldn't get my hopes up about one more console game if I were you.

I doubt even SOJ will remain unaffected.

Ths Sonic IP is still generally profitable with its AAA titles even when they release stinkers (Sonic Boom excepted) - I wouldn't write off the possibility of us seeing a few more just yet.

Make a shitty game and people won't buy it. I honestly wonder why Sega hasn't learned this lesson a decade ago.

SoJ has had their heads up their proverbial butts for longer than that; the infighting is terrible; Nintendo and Sony didn't have to raise a finger for them to go under.

I suppose this means we won't be getting anymore Sonic games for the consoles, such as Xbox One and PS4.

For now. But I'm sure they too will be affected eventually.
