Exactly. "Using that logic". This was your logic you chose to bring into this topic. I don't remember saying anticipated games that get first gameplay footage shown qualify as "supertons", you did. I spent my time refuting that. So if you have a problem with any of that, it's a problem with your own stance on the issue, not mine.
My point was, there's no way to test anticipation. You can't say 100,000 people are anticipating Halo 4 as an 8 and 50,000 are anticipating FF XIII as an 11, because there's no way to prove that. We tend to find things a bit skewed on message boards here. In our little world, No More Heroes is one of the most anticipated games, and judging by forums you would think it's a multimillion seller. It's not, because in the real world games like Smash Bros. and Mario Kart are much more anticipated. Hell, Madden is more anticipated.
Should we be calling superton or megaton to every game that is highly anticipated that recieves it's first gameplay footage? Here's a list of games from this year, Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, Fable II, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, No More Heroes, Metal Gear Solid 4, Grand Theft Auto IV, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, etc. etc. Gosh, that's an awful lot of "superton" announcements.
Your pregnant woman example at the bottom perfectly represented the entirety of the post preceding it. None of it made a lick of sense.
