It may not be a phenomenon but its definetely one of the biggest Sleeper Hits of the generation & the rise of possibly a new genre.

Really if we go by direct definitions there has only been 1 phenomenon this generation, Wii Sports.

Do you know what Sleeper hit means? It means something going big out of nowhere, if anything L4D is a sleeper hit, wasn't on hardly anyone's radar and sold v well. Even that's stretching the term though.

If Heavy Rain isn't a sleeper hit, then I don't know what is. Most people were guessing it would do .5-.75 mio. LTD at the most, and it did .5 mio in its first week!
