Yeah as much a sI like Sonic, even today Sega's marketing is kinda... stupid.

Don't get me wrong they do have really good franchises other than Sonic such as Yakuza, Football Manager and Total War the thing is these franchises are mostly published by sega than developed by them as well as being "modern franchises".

As for Classic-era franchises well there is Sega Ages but other than that they're not daring or motivated enough to reboot their old franchises for the Modern-era. I think it's because they fear another Golden Axe: Beast Rider but at a cost those franchises will never be given a chance for the modern audience. Imagine what games like Alex Kidd, Fantasy Zone or Ristar would be like as brand new modern games!

Meanwhile Nintendo keeps their franchises like Zelda, Pokémon, Starfox, Donkey Kong and other classic-era franchises fresh for the modern era of gaming while Sega's classic characters only come out whenever their is a Sega All-Star game.

But at least games like Panzer Dragoon is getting a remake and Phantasy Star Online 2 is finally arriving for western marketing.
