I think that's the point.  You left out good games and by doing so it seems you are implying only crap games sell on Wii.  If you had left those games in then it would have weakened your argument. 

As for the games you left in it goes to show how you or any other so called hard core person cannot be the judge of what is a good game and what is not.  The people that think Wii Sports is a bad game (let alone mediocre) are in the minority big time.  If you think Wii Sports is a bad game then I think you have very bad taste in games.  Wii Fit is great for what it is.  Mario and Sonic I absolutely love.  If you think it is mediocre that's your problem.  Tons of people disagree.  I have been playing games for 20 years now and love all manner of games.  I absolutely love Fallout 3 which you would obviously classify hard core.  But at the same time I can have an open mind and love quality 'casual' games like Wii Sports and Mario & Sonic.  But the fact I have been gaming for ages and play 'hardcore' games does not give me the right to tell others what is a good game or bad game.  Wii Music is the exception of course.  I think it is crap and everyone must accept my view on that game as FACT.

 

Actually I have played Wii Sports and Wii Play and they are indeed mediocre and bad.  Even if they were OK to good games is it a reason to celebrate games that clearly had little investment made into them sell so incredibly. 

Again I left out the good games not to imply the Wii doesnt have any good games that sell.  Fact of the matter of those top 10 games 6 of them are mediocre at best and yes that includes Wii Sports.   No I havent played all of those, but how many bad games on the 360, PS3, or previous generations have you played?  Just because for some stupid reason or another a mediocre or bad game sells incredibly well on a platform are we obliged to play it so we can say it is indeed a mediocre or bad game.  I didnt play Too Human on the 360 and willing to say it is mediocre.

 

Opinion =/= Fact.

Your Opinion == Your personal Preference only and nothing more

my opinion = your opinion = any other individuals opinion < collective opinion {where higher values equate to more importance and vice versa}

I could say "Portal is a terrible game.", and shortly after being lynched people would point out that the absurd notions of an individual are meaningless to everyone but that individual.

As for reviewers...well I think the best analogy here would be for you to pick your favorite profressional/college level sport and ask yourself this question:  Would you consider it reasonable or fair if your favorite team were playing a game where the most hardcore and dedicated fans of the opposing team were allowed to officiate the game?

Now consider that sports actually use objective rules for the most part where as reviewing is very subjective.  So why would you trust the subjective opinions of self-professed "hardcore gamers" when reviewing "casual games" if you wouldn't even trust the supposedly objective rulings of fanboys from your favorite sport where the rules are clearly defined?
