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.

 

 

To the average person, the top core games, like MGS4 and Halo 3, are bad because they are unplayable for the average person. Good or bad all depends on the target audience. The Wii games are very good for their intended audience, as are the top 360 and PS3 games. You and the hardcore gaming audience aren't the only ones in the world games are developed for, quit thinking so selfishly.

Exactly what I was going to say.  The suggestion that thx is the only judge of a good game is silly.  He thinks Mario and Sonic is mediocre I think it is amazing.  He may possibly think Halo is amazing while I think it is a pile of shit.  Why should one person's opinion count more than another.  Wii Music as I said is the exception and only my opinion counts there.
