Furthermore, a psychological phenomenon known as the mere ownership effect describes how the consumer will exaggerate the positive qualities of products that they own while simultaneously diminishing the positive qualities of similar products that they do not possess. In a nutshell, people like to think of themselves as clever consumers, and will distort the facts if necessary in order to reach that conclusion.

Lair says hello.

*ducks*

 So does Mario Party 8.

Difference is that a lot of people find Lair "painful" to play because of the poor controls. MP8 was attacked for basically being the same ole same ole and really is only held up by the fact that is is fun to play. It's essentially Nintendo's EA sports title. Change very little year to year and still sell plenty (but for some reason the EA sports titles keep getting good reviews).
