Now, ah, in fairness, he does have a point in equating memorability with sales. If nothing else, mroe people will remember these games just because more people have played them. Wii Sports is the most-played game this generation, and will easily be the best-remembered (or most widely remembered) in many respects.

It's true, they're just linked in the opposite direction that he thinks.  Games will be rememberred because they sold, they won't sell because they are innately memorable.

Sorry, but games wont keep selling if people think they suck, word of mouth is more effective than any marketing, there is a reason Wii gamse sell for months, even years, while other games die off

So  by your logic Wii Sports is better than Valkyria Chronicles? or Valkyria Chronicles sucks thats why it hasnt sold past a milli?


  I'd say it doesn't appeal to the mass market, and that they don't view it as a game worth the price tag (whatever that price is)
