Will any other game ever beat Wii Sports as the greatest game ever

Wii Sports is to video games what Twilight is to vampire movies, and if you look at the majority of what people had to say about Twilight in my What are your favorite vampire films thread, the vast majority found Twilight to be an embarassment to vampire films.

Vampire film fans are a very small elitist minority of film fans that the rest of the film world doesn't care about at all, so yeah, this is a good comparison with hardcore gamers and their whining about Wii Sports.

If you ask film fans what their favorite films of all time are, you're not gonna get any vampire films.

That's a terrible similitude and in your heart you know it. Vampire films are a subset of all films. But casual, accessible games are a subset of all games. It's the "whiny hardcore gamers" that are really the film fans and know what they're talking about. And it's people that only play Wii Sports that have limited themselves to a little handful of plots.

There's nothing wrong with many gamers dissing Wii Sports. Its main quality - accessibility - has no value for them, and they find little else in it.

Why are you so anxious to flatten everything to the simplest common denominator?

Dammit, I can't deny it when you tell me I know it in my heart.  I was just tossing around bad analogies for fun.  I thought that became the point of this thread after a while.

Everybody knows Twilight is a passing craze that isn't revolutionizing vampire films.  However, I think Wii Sports is no passing craze and is actually revolutionizing video games.

I think that's a good thing and some people here think that's a bad thing.  I have no idea why it could be a bad thing.  Market expansion is not market replacement.  I really don't know why this game gets so much hate.

I think I should just start a "Why do you hate Wii Sports?" thread to gather all the anti-Wii Sports arguments in one place.  I really still don't get it.
