I actually liked Sonic Chronicles. I actually found it to be quite good as a beginning RPG for the Sonic series. Though seeing that the Sonic Fan base is much smaller within Japan than within North america and Europe, it is actually not that surprising.

They apparently never liked Sonic. I remember Naka voiced his disappoint that Sonic never got popular there years ago. As for SC not doing well, it's not surprising. Although I am curious how much they advertised it.

RPGs aren't really for me, even if it is Sonic. Though I did enjoy Jade empire from BioWare, KOTOR left a bad taste in my mouth, and Mass Effect was rather decent.

I'm not surprised. Though I think Sonic Adventure was rather popular in Japan when it was first released, it nearly sold about 500k there.

It's not uncommon for Japanese franchises to sell higher in the US, it happens alot.
