A lot of people are saying that 6 is the new 7; it's been that way for a long time. Actually, that internet movement has been dying down for a while. I remember that, a couple of years ago, on some parts of the tubes (I can't speak for VGChartz, since I haven't been lurking here for long), saying that one preferred 7 would result in huge amounts of flaming (this hasn't happened to me, but I've witnessed it a lot, and it's made me very reluctant to say that 7 is my favourite; I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way).
I'm also amused to see some of the old arguments coming out; saying that FF7 is popular only because the people who like it haven't played the older games or because they care too much about graphics (PROTIP: if they cared about graphics at all, they wouldn't like FF7 any more) is just a way of saying "the vast majority of people who disagree with me aren't in a position to make any judgements". I'm also amused that a game's graphics and higher popularity are so often used against it in an argument (this doesn't just happen in 6 vs 7 debates); if a game has better graphics, then the people who prefer it can be dismissed as graphics whores. If it's more popular, then the people who prefer it haven't played the less popular game and don't know what they're talking about. 
Really, I don't know why people get so upset about people not preferring their favourite game that they have to say things like that. 6 isn't objectively better than 7, and whilst a lot of 7 fans haven't played 6, many of us have played both, don't care about graphics and still prefer 7.
(inb4 someone accuses me of being equally upset about people not liking my favourite game; I'm fine with people liking some games more than FF7, but a lot of the arguments that get used in these debates basically amount to saying that 6 is objectively better and that 7 fans are ignorant, and that really grinds my gears)
