How seriously are we supposed to take scores when the highest selling games last year; Mario Karts Wii (14.16M) and Wii Fit (14.75M), a true landmark game, are out scored by such wonderful immortal HD classics as: Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds ( 690K), Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (720K), DiRT: Colin McRae Off-Road (880K). Apparently they weren't able to generate sales to go with those great scores.
Even Xbox Live has provided more worthy games like PixelJunk Monsters, Pac-Man Championship Edition (probably won on originality). Oh, and don't let us forget Encore Poker Smash, the game that inspired IGN to award a perfect 100. Interestingly that was a full 30 points more than Planet Xbox 360, Official Xbox Magazine UK, Totally360 and 40 points more than Xbox World 360 Magazine UK.
Now obviously opinions are opinions, and I will undoubtedly be flamed by people whose lives were forever changed by Poker Smash. But I am willing to bet the farm that Wii Fit will be remembered as a watershed event in the history of video gaming long after Poker Smash is totally forgotten.
