@mrstickball: Do you expect games like MGS4, a game with one of the biggest budgets ever, to be topped by borderline shovelware titles like Dragon Quest Swords?

Have you given a good look at the list, and compared budgets? If a big franchise like MGS4 came out and flopped on the Wii, I could see your point, otherwise I'm not getting it. It isn't even close to a fair comparison. It looks more like proof that third parties aren't even trying, yet are still somehow managing nice sales.

 

DQ is much much bigger than MGS in Japan. Obviously Swords didn't have nearly the effort that MGS4 received, but you can't act like Dragon Quest is nothing. Best selling DQ was 4.12 million. Best selling MGS was 870k. Of course DQX would probably sell millions, but ignoring the fact that DQ is a massive franchise doesn't make sense.

 

I'm glad there are people to debunk the obvious Wii haters bias. Welcome guys!

As for this one, it's the same kind as the other WIi haters bias posts. The best DQ sure enough are not the spinoffs.

DQS is a DQ spinoff, with very poor work put into it. It sure enough doesn't compare with a main DQ title.

But grasping at straws is to be expected when you try to downplay the Wii.

Congratulations at repeating exactly what I said.  I said DQX would sell millions did I not?  I said that not much effort was put into Swords did I not?  But I suppose you can dwell in the ignorance that clearly anyone who speaks ill of the almighty wii is merely a "hater".

My point was he was downplaying the signifgance of Dragon Quest while calling Metal Gear Solid a "big franchise".  Dragon Quest is in a completely different league in Japan.  It would be like comparing a Grand Theft Auto spinoff to Tekken in others.
