Anyways,
I'm surprised she doesn't have a 2.5D platforming game by now to replace Sonic, Seeing as how hot this is in Japan.
Unless you're suggesting a platforming game with rhythm elements like Bit.Trip Runner/HarmoKnight or Sound Shapes, that doesn't really make sense. Replacing Sonic with her would make even less sense. Hatsune Miku does well in Japan, but not in western markets. Sonic does well in western markets, but not in Japan.

It was a joke.

If the likes on Facebook are anything to go buy, Miku could very well do good in a western market. There's just no merchandising that is actually made and targetted for non-Japanese yet... which kinda makes the idea that she "wouldn't sell" just seem self-fulfilling. Project Diva F could change that.
That being said, a platformer kinda doesn't make sense, unless it was based on one of the many music video projects that have come from the Vocaloid scene. There's an easy and obvious reason why they went with a rhythm-music game first.
Personally though, I think it'd be funny to see what would happen if Sega slipped in Miku as an "uncredited voice actor" in an upcoming game project and see what the reaction is.
