Because Sonic has almost zero personality. It's hard to bond with/follow a character who is just a bland vessel that you control. At least Shadow was angry and trying to destroy stuff. He was doing something. Sonic just aimlessly heads towards villains, gives occasional one liners, and tries to save the day while being careful to put as little emotion on his face as possible.
It's, in a very abstract way, the same reason I don't appreciate Pacman over Halo just because Pacman came first.

Grey Jinjo also described why I prefer Shadow over Sonic, even though they got rid of the emo Shadow at least he have some character, heck I think Shadow is the only Sonic character that has the most personality, by that meaning most developed story.

Yeah I know it was off. That's why I put that abstract comment in there / It still holds the same "One came first and was iconic but the other is better so I like it better regardless" parallel.

Shadow is the only one in the Sonic series with character. The rest are generic 'I will rule the world!' 'I'm gonna stop you' 'Agghh! I lost!' characters. Although I still prefer Sonic. Gameplay over story.

Then you should know that with the exception of Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic and Shadow have almost the exact gameplay in every game they've been in .

Sonic, cause Shadow is basically a character created to appeal to more 'serious' or 'rebellious' people.

Right. In SA2 he was a dark and mysterious fellow that was quiet about his traumatic past and sided with the enemy in an attempt to further his own goals, when in Shadow the Hedgehog he just continously whines about his problems and seems a lot more broken than bad. But of course, you could pull the "Shadow the Hedgehog isn't canon" card.
Also, Sonic the Hedgehog isn't the series you want to look forward to for character personality. That's sort of what spawned Sonic the Hedgehog 360/PS3. Not gonna pick a randomly developed Mario character over the classic plumber, right? |

I'd pick a sleuth of characters over Mario. Mario is, all things considered, completely worthless as a character.

I love me a good story, and that's why Shadow appealed to me in SA2. I actually teared up a little bit when
Spoiler: (highlight to view)
he sacrificed himself at the end.
Very sad indeed. Pac-Man Forever, by the way. |
