Great read I enjoyed the article a lot. That was a fantastic write up. Certainly expresses some thoughts I have had, but never formed or talked about. It was great. This is an article worth blogging about or up the VGChartz article sections. Sometimes it seems that bland forum worth news get's put into the Headlines :\
I only have 2 comments. They don't change the article focus, but I wanted to point the out.

2. Shovel ware is not a PS2 era thing. It dates back to Atari( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Atari_2600_games) . Though I can't find it I had heard even a cereal company had a game made on their mascot. So I assure you SHOVEL WARE( http://www.gamespot.com/atari2600/action/mastersoftheuniversepoh/similar.html ) is not a new thing. By from what I hear Custers Revenge is NSW game play.
ooh check this game out

Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
