I don't say it to get under peoples' skin, it's just my opinion.


There is no opinion about something being a game or a tech demo, a tech demo is something like Sony showed off last year with the Move, where there's no real game built around it, everything was there only to show off the technology.

It's just like if I said "The sun is green" because it's my "opinion" it's not opinion cause the sun is clearly yellow, there comes a point you can't hide behind "opinions" cause that seems to be happening a lot on the forums where trying to bash something is now all "opinion" when all anyone has ever asked for is something constructive if you don't like something state legit reasons not to like it with examples and not "these games are rubbish and don't appeal to me, it's my opinion and you can't say it isnt!" it's really frustrating and it also breaks the content rule...

Lol.

Nice comparison there. While Wii Sports is simply very barebones and is considered a tech demo by some, not only me, you just say something that is as random as the sun being green according to opinion, while its color is clearly non-debatable, unlike WS's existence as a game or a tech demo.

 So what if it has some games built around it? They're all very simple and do not much beyond showing off the wiimote tech in a fun way. Sony's demo at E3 09 was also with a sort of an extremely barebones archery show. Is it a game? No. It's too barebones to be one.

You've asked for constructive, well, here it is.

Since you don't seem to know the definition of a game

From websters:

"a physical or mental competition conducted according to rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other" 

Wii Sports fits the definition, a tech demo lacks rules or an end to the game, it simply shows off the tech.  It is something that is defined, just like color, therefore my analogy fits, just because other people don't seem to understand the difference between a game and a tech demo doesn't mean you're anymore in the right, just means there's more people in the wrong, it's just like a crap load of people can't seem to use irony right.  It's not that hard to understand...
