They're only smart when they buy Playstation even if its for the dumbest of reasons. Thats why Americans are dumb, Japanese people and Europeans are slightly redeemed by the fact that the PS3 is in 2nd place. Had the PS3 been in first place in America on the other hand there would have been dozens of threads on how the Europeans and Japanese are so dumb.

Lol. I don't discriminate. People are stupid in all regions :P Unless it's something you invest a lot of time in, your point of view or opinion is likely a stupid (uninformed) one.

Its even stupider though to assume the choices people make are stupid. You're not going to win the Hawkings prize if you're going to go around calling people out for their choices and how they live their lives if that has no negative impact on others.

Well, it's an exagerration, but the majority of people (mainstream) will not invest significant amounts of time in all aspects of their life. As you say, if it doesn't have a negative impact on their lives they won't invest as much time. We all make stupid decisions in different areas of our lives because we can't learn everything is what I'm getting at. For this reason, going by sales alone is not a good indicator of quality (especially for experienced gamers on this site who are likely more critical of faults).
