Can NSMB Wii sell to lapped gamers?

This is the problem with the Wii imo - the Mario Kart and Brawl scenes are too competitive and often shun people away from the console. Next time you Mario Kart pros are about to lap somebody, take a second and ask yourselves if humiliating the player is really worth losing him to another console. If you think it is, by all means. I just know that if I was ever lapped in Mario Kart Wii I would have to put down the console and play Phoenix Wright some more.

I agree.  Melee was my faourite game last gen and I couldn't wait for Brawl to come out.  But when it did (2 months later in Europe) I made the mistake of playing it online against a few guys on this site.  They were so good they made me hate the game so much and I completely stopped playing it.  With Mario Kart Wii on the other hand I am the best in the world so don't mind the competitiveness.
