I don't see how anyone could possibly find that bad as the technology is nothing new and a mediocre Wii Sports knock-off is the best launch title. It's not something people rush out to buy first day either.


Not such a bad title since Wii Sports in itself is mediocre.  It just was first.  I know the Nintendo faithful want to believe that Wii Sports was some sort of immense undertaking, but that is BS.  It was a OK game that showed off Motion Controls.  It sells so well simply because in 2 out of the 3 market it is bundled and has always been bundled.

As for the Move count. Does it really matter? Honestly what you really want to see is an increase in PS3 sales.  If Move/Kinect sells great yet PS3/360 sales dont increase then it just doesnt matter.  I for one believe that both the Move and Kinect will erode some of the Wii market.  Does this change where they all finish? Probably not, but still am improvement is all that both Sony and MS want.

Best selling game of all time = mediocre. You're funny.

Mediocre according to you maybe. Though I happen to think RE5 is pretty mediocre so it's all relative.. I personally think Wii Sports is a great game. It was the only time in a good 15 years I felt like I was playing something genininely new, and the only game in which my whole family from my 5 year old cousin to my 86 year old grandma had fun playing.

Sure it's bundled, but it still did 3.74 million in Japan where it ISN'T bundled, on a userbase of 8 million. Then there is WSR which has sold nearly 18 million and still on the top ten list. Hmm, guess the game must have done SOMETHING right, wouldn't you say? ;)
