"Some sites do mark Wii titles harshly - 1UP being one of those. Wii Sports got pretty crappy scores, and I love it."
Certain Wii fans in that Boogie thread (specifically, Desroko and HappySquirrel) actually made that very same argument, by looking at 1UP scores compared to Gamerankings across a large number of Wii games. The reason I didn't include those comments in my post above is because they were rational, relatively unbiased, and actually convincing.
The second sentence is just a terrible argument, and one that is frequently made on gaming forums. Your loving something that got "pretty crappy scores" is proof of absolutely nothing. Take it to its logical conclusion and then realize that there are also people out there who loved Van Wilder 2 and Hour of Victory (see the user review from "FPS Master" making the same argument). .
"I believe (after a couple more reviews for Boogie) that I concluded that its a crap game."
And your comment was probably the least worthy of being included; waiting for more reviews before making a judgment is pretty much always a good idea.
But there were PS3 fans who made the same argument whenever a bad Lair review was posted. Did you as a Wii fan make that same argument after the first review bashing Lair came out?
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
