Yes. The bible is the most sold book in history, but I doubt many would argue that it is the greatest piece of literature ever concieved. Kinda silly example, but using sales only to determine that something is number one is equally silly imo.

I disagree. Sales are the best (only?) way we have to gauge what the general public thinks about a product's worth. You're welcome to your own opinion about a game (or anything else) that sells well, for example, and more power to you for it, but in most cases it's silly to argue that sales aren't indicative of the masses' opinion.
To cite your own example, I'm confident that throughout the span of time that the Bible was selling, a crapload of Western society thought of it as a must-have item. What they got out of it (literary value? Spiritual comfort? Others? More than one of the above?) requires a separate analysis, but it does not mean that they didn't place a high value on it.

The Bible doesn't count. It was bundled! |
Lol!  Just ask Crazzyman, the Quran is the better book b/c it wasn't bundled! |
But it was. It came with a religion!
