I tried to go with the cream of the crop here, but seeing as how it's subjective I'm sure there will be massive disagreement as to the poll options.
Good.
It pained me to leave off stuff like Ristar, OutRun, Space Harrier, After Burner, ToeJam & Earl, Sega Rally, etc. -- but there simply wasn't room for all of them.
Although I love many Sega products dearly, there would be no Sega as we know it today without the Hedgehog.
Sonic gets my vote just for making Knuckles. :)
Sonic probably was the most successful franchise, with good reason, but there are so many that deserved more attention and so many that were just plain good. Anyway I am outraged. Shining Force must be the correct answer. It might not have done the best, but it was a great moneymaker, and it was one of the absolute best damn game series's.
I'd have to say that Sonic has been their most successful franchise, however I believe the shining force series should be an option.
I can't even vote...
I can't choose...
Sonic is the most succesful, but where is Shining Force? and damn Phantasy Star and Panzer is a hard choice as well... to many good ones on there...
this just shows all the reasons I LOVE Sega... except the lack of Shining Force... (yeah it is Camelot, but it is owned by Sega)
What's the consensus on the game that should be taken off for Shining Force?
Probably Daytona. I mean, nothing's wrong with Daytona but it's not in the same league here.

You're also missing the one franchise MOST worthy of a followup;
DRAGON FORCE
sure, another proper Shinning game would be welcome, but I simply loved every minute of Dragon Force.
In any case, SEGA still needs to shuffle around their development staff so they can ease off the 'Half-Finished' feel that many of their recent console titles maintain.
Shenmue should be taken off, it's not really a game.
That and I hate it with a passion.
*Feels happy that more Shining Fans have jumped in for a consensus*
Overall Sega did everything right with their big franchises. Unfortunately most of those franchises were run by different companies.

I'm not really liking that idea, but I guess it's too early to call just yet.
It is not too early to tell actually. If Sega does a remake there's a 99.9 percent chance that it will not be any good.
NiGHTS or Jet Set Radio.
