Here's the comment I left there as the usual sensible post for these things. This pretty much sums it up right:
"I must say Super Mario Bros. was one of the most revolutionary games of its time and people should be honored that one of the most revolutionary games of this generation is the one to pass it. Sure it's not the best game. Unfortunately usually the best games don't sell well because they aren't mainstream enough. Such as LoZ: OoT at 7.6 million and Okami barely at a million. Usually its the mainstream games that sell well.
Even though Wii Sports was bundled and even though it is not the best game, is it not a solid game? Did it not show everyone how amazing the wiimote is and how you can completely change an experience for the better? Wii Sports was not only one of the most revolutionary games released it expanded the sports genre that was in need of something other than its roster updates.
Wii Sports is one of the most important games ever released just like Super Mario Bros. And although it outsells SMB because of the console selling better it does not take away from the greatness that was Super Mario Bros. Although I suspect that's not the reason most of you hate on Wii Sports as you still think Wii is killing the hardcore despite yall not understanding what it means.
Nothing can take away the greatness that is Super Mario Bros. Not a game like Halo 3, GTA IV, or even MGS4. So obviously being outsold by a game like Wii Sports won't take that away. Make sure you realize that before you write things this. But give credit where its due to Wii Sports which was a risk all itself because such a drastic change in gameplay could have caused it and the Wii to flop right there if it didn't work just like NES and Super Mario Bros. so long ago. It's an honor to see the industry once again recognize the important of innovations whether by bundle or not. As long time people in the industry as well you should be honored as well."
