I think people were arguing that the legs on games meant people enjoy the game (word of mouth). For example, Nintendo games, or CoD4. Modern Warfare 2 was bought by tons of people before anybody really even played the game.
Of course, I don't really think even long term sales (assuming we knew them) entirely correlate to what should be GotY.
Anyway, too often I've seen stuff in this thread like, "The game needs better graphics, story, cinematics to win!" Or, "It needs to push innovation, NSMBWii doesn't even have online!"
All of this is meaningless. Hell, I'd say staying power is more important than all the above, yet nobody pays attention to it (see: Multiplayer games). What truly matters is the overall experience, and I'd say NSMB Wii delivers. Whether it's better or worse than the other games released this year is another story.
