Mostly it's probably just them playing the part of "person who likes Mario so much that he/she hates his old rival, Sonic". A smaller number of gamers probably don't like the games because Sonic isn't their kind of game and they can't help how they feel. And some people make up a kind of "Other" category that acts as a safety net for my argument in case someone points out a group(s) of people I have neglected to mention.

Personally, I like classic Sonic games more than old Mario ones (although I do like them), and like the newer Mario games (SM64 and SMS) more than the newer, 3D Sonic games (Of which I don't care for at all).

Edit: I wasn't being an equal opportunity pronoun user.

I like Mario so much but I don't hate sonic.

Also, I detest VGDC.

Well, you have to consider that Sonic was created for the express purpose of trying to make kids think he was "cooler" than Mario.
I used to not like Sonic, now I'm pretty well indifferent.

True. They stopped fighting. He even moved to Mario's recent home in the DS and GC.

I don't hate Sonic. I can't hate Sonic because I've never played a Sonic game.

I don't hate Sonic at all.

I remember waking up every morning to watch the Sonic cartoons. They were awesome.

Yeah, I remember Sonic X, Sonic Underground, and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

I don't hate Sonic. However, his recent games were highly disappointing and rather boring.

I noticed that every post now begins with "I don't hate Sonic."

And in response to Chup's post: Whaddaya mean Sonic was created with the express purpose of making kids think he was "cooler" than Sonic? The Sonic games were created basically for two resons: a) to establish both a mascot and a "primary franchise" for Sega, and b) because all their original Sonic designs sucked big time. I mean, seriously, Sonic was first going to be a creepy big-mustached dude, then a bulldog, then a pengiun, then a panda, then a rabbit. In the end, they chose a hedgehog because everyone knows the majority of hedgehogs are blue and cpabable of reaching speeds over Mach 3.

It was before that Sonic was intended to drive off Mario.

Mario and Sonic, IMO, are like lasanga and potato salad. Both equally good, but together, oh so awesome. Most of my free time is spent trying to come up with the best plot for my upcoming "novel" which I have yet to rewrite. 8P
Anyways, they're both good, and I like him. Who knows? Maybe he'll be the character that Miyamoto said will be fighting along Mario in the next game...hmm...nah!

Mario and Sonic rule!

I don't know if Sega or Miyamoto would want that to happen. Maybe they should stay in their own games, Sonic in the Mushroom Kingdom sounds... not right.
