"Sega announced that the PS3 and 360 versions would be delayed in Japan until 2009, citing quality issues, while the game would still be hitting shelves in 2008 in western territories.

English speaking Sonic fans, already dismayed at the hedgehog's decline into mediocrity over the past 10 years, were understandably concerned with the notion of getting a rushed build of the game. However, Sega of America has addressed the issue, saying the Japanese delay was solely "based on the sales strategy and the manufacturing schedule", and that "there will be no quality difference"."

SEGA has revealed that the reason behind Sonic Unleashed's Japanese delay has nothing to do with improving the game's quality for its Japanese release, but as a result of sales strategies and manufacturing schedules.

Speaking to Eurogamer, SEGA stated "Some fans have become concerned that there will be a difference in quality between the version of the game released in Japan and the version released outside of Japan. This is not the case and we apologise for this misunderstanding."

"The difference in the international release dates is based on the sales strategy and the manufacturing schedule. There will be no quality difference between the North American/European/Asia release and the Japanese version. Please be assured we are doing our best to deliver a top quality experience to people all over the globe."

In North America and Europe Sonic Unleashed is exploding on every viable console on the market with a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 2 version that Japan isn't getting. Sega of Japan plans to release Sonic: World Adventure (renamed to better fit Sonic's journey around the Earth and downplay the Werehog thing?) only on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. The PlayStation 2 port will be completed before Sonic: World Adventure launches in Japan so this begs the question why is Sega passing on it? It's not like Sega Japan is abandoning the PlayStation 2 entirely. Thunderforce VI comes out on Thursday in Japan and unless Sega has anything secretly planned it will be the final PlayStation 2 game published by Sega in the region.

Never mind that Sega's crack legal team already confirmed Sonic Unleashed, Official Nintendo Magazine (UK) has a world exclusive! The Wii game will be out this winter, use the Wii-mote and Nunchuk, but won't have online, it seems. Fair enough, the game seems like an old school Sega platformer - a good thing. Says the game's lead designer, Yoshihisa Hashimoto:

"In our minds, this game will have more in common with the older Sonic Adventure series. It has no relation to Sonic the Hedgehog [the 360/PS3 game] or Sonic And The Secret Rings... We wanted Sonic fans to love Sonic even more. Also, for people who are not familiar with Sonic, we think that this will be a great way to introduce them to Sonic The Hedgehog."
