On the contrary I think they're good again; they own Atlus and the Yakuza series which are very popular, and some smaller things like Project Diva. Although I think Atlus's games are kind of shallow and relying on teenage edginess lately, Persona 5 feels like they wanted to be about relevant societal issues but only researched them by watching TV dramas.
Sonic games are consistently bad, but they've always been like that, and the main appeal of the series is wondering why its fans are so weird. (ie just think of any word X and google "X the Hedgehog" and you'll get strange fetish art)

I suppose that's my main point of reference so I'm a bit biased. Sonic games were generally considered to be good on SEGA hardware, and generally became awful afterward with very few exceptions. (Generations, Colors, and Mania were arguably the only good Sonic games in the past 20 years)
