Well.. I can't blame him for bringing sales since you said "Game of the generation". When I hear "Game of the generation" what comes to my mind are sales and impact, but obviously you aint mean any of that since Wii Sports has both. Did you mean critical acclaim? By who, reviewers? If so you must be confused since that spot is owned by GTA IV.

What does it need to be called a game? If Wii Sports is a tech demo are all the games that include "minigames" or sports tech demos too? Well, it's obvious that you're in a small minority since the average Wii owner has played 35 hours of Wii sports.

But... but but but... look at those last-gen graphics! And the minigames! And... and it doesn't even have a story!

Xen's stuck in the "hardcore bubble," just like so many others. He can't understand how or why Nintendo's "tech demo" has been/will be played and loved by tens of millions more people than his "game of the generation."



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
