the mere fact that it has sustained itself and been kept relevant all these decades implies that there is a silent majority who thinks the sonic games are good.

The metacritic scores say otherwise. I'd suggest it's more a case of people being psychologically tied to a franchise and buying everything it produces regardless of quality. Pokemon suffers from the same thing. People bitch about how every new entry is worse than the last and yet they keep buying every single game because they don't understand the concept of voting with your wallet.

Also, a significant percentage of the population are zombies who don't hold the media they consume to any standards at all and are happy with almost everything. As long as the person who created whatever they're watching didn't personally come to their house and kill their dog they give it a 10/10. Millions of people loved the last two seasons of Game of Thrones just as much as the first half of the show and millions of people think Taylor Swift is among the most gifted lyricists of our generation.
