Makes me laugh how these tech whores get their panties in a bunch that such an underpowered console is kicking the taints of the "amazing" powerful HD consoles.

I am not following your logic there. Where did the guy say anything like that?

He didn't.

But you should know by now that everyone dislikes the Wii because it's outselling the HD consoles. This also automatically makes the Wii better.

Not because (for example) Ubisofts 2 best selling games ever are on those said HD consoles.

The problem is assuming it's because those games are on the HD consoles made them sell, not that they are actually good and marketed well. NSMBWii didn't sell well just because it was on the Wii. It sold because it's also good and marketed well.

BTW, reviews don't make a game good, nor are a substitute for marketing.

You think a consoles demographic doesn't come into how a certain game sells?

Do you honestly think that Carnival Games would sell over 3.5 Million units on either HD console? Honestly?

And just so you know. Assassin's Creed wasn't a good game. It was slow, repetitive and dull. The only good thing about it was the introduction of Parkour into games and the graphics.

I didn't say it doesn't matter at all. But to have the bestselling games on two systems, and not have them on another, is just assuming correlation=causalition, which is a major logical fallacy. Again, those games are not only on those systems. They are ALSO of mainstream quality AND have marketing. So far, few major Wii games of the kind the "harcore" likes have either, and none have had them to the degree that makes them sell well. Even Monster Hunter needed true local co-op, since that was a major factor in them selling on the PSP (the ad hoc wi-fi).
