  | | Hello - thanks for your honest comments, which are always appreciated. As this has started as a Flea Market rescue of an article on all Sonic games written up to the point of the article's abandonment, my initial idea was that the article needed to be split up, and by decades seemed to be the most sensible way.
I can honestly state that when I started, I had no idea that there were quite so many Sonic games out there. I've only ever noticed the ones for the consoles I (or my wife) actually own. I am now seriously considering cutting this in half and having this cover 2000-2004, with a short paragraph or two about the remaining games of this period.
Do I think anybody would read this Entry in the way I've planned it? I never assume that anyone would read anything I write anyway (although obviously I hope they would). I probably find it more enjoyable to write about something than people enjoy reading what I write - but you are correct that I should consider the (hopefully existing) readers' experience in reading what I write.

| | Okay, I've decided to split this in half. Anyone wanting to write about the period 2005-2009 may find the below useful:
<HEADER>Consoles</HEADER>
<P><LINK H2G2="A637904">Sonic the Hedgehog</LINK> games could be played on the following games <LINK H2G2="A996979">consoles</LINK>:</P><UL>
<LI><P>Nintendo DS – Double-Screened handheld console launched in 2004 offering a touch-screen and wireless play, but capable of playing Game Boy Advance games. Later versions included DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL. This is the 21st Century's most popular handheld console to date.</P></LI>
<LI><P>Nintendo Wii – released in 2006 and aimed at a family audience, the Wii has proved more popular than its competitors the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 due to its motion-sensing technology. GameCube games can be played on it. Originally it was going to be called Revolution, which would have involved fewer toilet jokes.</P></LI>
<LI><P><LINK H2G2="A279641">PlayStation 2</LINK> - the follow up to the popular <LINK H2G2="A197174">Sony PlayStation</LINK> released in 2000.</P></LI>
<LI><P>PlayStation 3 – the follow up to the popular PlayStation 2, released in 2006. It helped ensure the popularity of Blu-Ray discs over HD-DVD.</P></LI>
<LI><P>PSP – The PlayStation Portable was a hand-held console released in 2004. It was compatible with the PlayStation 2 and 3 and some films etc were released on its Universal Media Disc format, allowing to be used as a portable television, although this was not popular.</P></LI>
<LI><P>Xbox 360 – Microsoft's follow up, released in 2005. There are many, many different versions containing different sized hard drives.</P></LI>
