I guarantee that in 20 years we'll have new young hip dumb video game reviewers who grew up on Wii Sports instead of Super Mario Bros., and they'll all be saying Wii Sports is one of the greatest games ever made.

The casuals are flooding the market! They're going to take over the future! Aahahahahaha!!!


Why don't you make your own list of the best-selling games of all time, but take out all the bundled games. Which is worse, having Wii Sports as the best-selling game of this generation, or Wii Play, or Wii Fit?

      Super Mario Bros. was considered to be the greatest game in its time (and it continued to hold that title until games like Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, and SMB 3 were released), and it is still to be found in most of the lists of the top 10 games ever made.  Wii Sports isn't considered to be the greatest game of its time (by a long shot), and it won't be considered one of the greatest games of all time twenty years from now.

    Those future reviewers you're talking about will have their fondest gaming memories dominated by Halo, Gears, GTA, and MGS. 

Those were all niche games that can't even break 20 million sales, let alone 50 or 70 or 100 BILLION or wherever Wii Sports will end up.

And IGN actually think Chrono Cross was a better game than Super Mario Galaxy, so I'd trust a politician before I'd trust IGN.
