not only has wii sports proven that it is the highest selling, most immersive game out of every other game released but it also features unique controls, great graphics and stellar reviews.
| “ | I believe that a collection of games like this is truly ground-breaking. It's not a single lavish stand-alone game, neither is it a compilation of 100 different mini-games. It has no official licenses or endorsements, nor are there any famous people featured in it. It lives up to the initial concept of offering a revolutionary control method, a brand new type of game. Moreover, it contains five different games, all of which have been individually designed so the player never tires of them. I don't think there has ever been a collection of games quite like this. | ” |

do you think any other game in the history of videogaming will ever have the power to beat wii sports? My only guess is that Wii Sports Resort might come close.
think about it this way. metal gear solid 4, grand theft auto 4 and resident evil 5, the 3 biggest games of this generation so far, have not even sold 1/4 of what wii sports has combined.
In other words, developers should stop making titles like the above and focus on games like Wii Sports. But we don't want to tell them that because we don't want more imitating games. To conclude, Wii Sports is the greatest game ever, both visually, interactively, and most of all commercially. It makes AAA games like mgs4, gta4 and re5 look like trash. Every Wii owner should be proud to have such a game.
Back to my question, do you think any other game will have this power ever again??
prediction: wii to sell 150million console by end of 2010
