OriGin said: It is a sad state of affairs when the lowest reviewed versions of the games are the ones that sell the most... which will definately be the case with Tiger Woods - why the hell would someone buy this game for Xbox 360 or PS3 / PS2 if they could buy it for Wii and REALLY swing the remote... Gimmicky yes but that's what people want. YOu must remember Kwaad you read reviews from a gamers perspective... the reviews you read are done by other gamers... and thus it's hard to judge what will be popular on the market... these reviewers that review their personal oppinion towards a game gives an idea of what 5 - 10% of the market will like. Games like Bratz, Singstar, Buzz have all received pretty shonkey reviews, yet they sell very well... you can't be closed minded and think that EVERYONE thinks and likes games like a hardcore gamer...

So true. But at the same time look at the best selling games of all time. They are pretty much in line with those opinions of fellow gamers. http://www.vgcharts.org/worldtotals.php As a gamer I must say I have played and enjoyed quite a large number of games on this list. So I think the perception of casual gamers not appreciating and supporting good games is really just a myth. And I was really shocked by sega's choice to pull out of the race. I really would have liked to see them in this generation doing something awesome. To me it seems as if the quality of thier games have gone down since the DC days.
