| fastyxx said: But the response to these posts is always the same. RE4 is a port (albeit an improved one). GH3 is a port. Game Party is a top seller with 1.44 million sold worldwide with a 25 metacritic rating. Boom Blox is at 560k with an 85 metacritic rating. Ratings aren't everything, but a 25? Really? It's not about one million sales. That's an arbitrary number that's just a nice easy one. But look at the top 3rd party games critically - the Zack& Wiki (450k) and Boom Blox (560k) and No More Heroes (360k). We all know the Psychonauts and Beyond Good and Evils and the like on other systems that commercially underperformed compared to their quality and critical love, because its fairly rare for it to happen. Except for on Wii. And Wii Play sells 15 million at a 58 metacritic and that's supposed to be a time to celebrate for gaming? Every system has junk on it. And some of that junk sells. But where is Wii's success stories in moving GOOD, new original product for 3rd parties. It's not like these are little companies behind these games. Boom Blox is EA-published. Zack is Capcom.
You guys act like I am the first one to raise this concern for Wii.

No, they act like you're the 100th troll to stroll in with a basket full of freshly picked cherries, thinking that you have a point when you don't.
I mean it's pretty obvious when you went running to metacritic. How much of an impact has metacritic had on the industry for the past 20 or 30 years? That's right; not much. So you acknowledge that metacritic is irrelevant to these games' sales yet you cling to its arbitrary scores anyway? Your entire argument is based on twisting and ignoring facts, logic and reality.
We've seen the concern trolls pretend like they care about Goichi Suda and the sales of No More Heroes while blatantly ignoring how elated he and Marvelous were at it being the most successful Grasshopper game to date. We've seen people pretend that Zack & Wiki's success is nullified because it got outsold by a minigame compilation with more appeal and at half the price. And we've seen Boom Blox go from a game no one paid attention to until it came out, to being some holy grail that supposedly isn't selling enough (enough being what, exactly?).
We've heard it all and its been disproven countless times by the members here and the mere fact of reality itself. Find a new shtick.
