| Mazty said: Because? Since when did sales mean that a game is by default good & it's not fanboys getting one off over their favourite fanchise? Not to mention do you have a demograph of who bought it because by gamers you could be saying "12 million kids bought it", and last I checked a kid didn't know the difference in quality between steak and playdo. |
Traditionally spekaing, children who are into video games tend to be among the most discerning when it comes to the qualities that appeals to them - but it should go without saying that, since NSMBWii looks to go on to double or triple the sales of Mario Galaxy, that its appeal extends far beyond people who will buy a game just because it is Mario.
But you hold an interesting (and valid) point that appeal can't be used as an absolute metric of quality, but it brings up a more inteesting problem in that nothing is an absolute metric of quality. Now, following that, does it not stands to reason that you may not have the perspective necessary to comment on the quality of the Wii's library?
