Skyward Sword was the worst Zelda I have played. We need to talk about this.

you know alot of the PS2 sucess has to do with the fact that at the time of release and even some time after that it was the cheapest DVD player out. Which DVD was a very popular format at that time, alot of people wanted one. They both did the same thing for their respective systems, had PS2 not have DVD playback it wouldnt have been as popular same thing with motion for Wii. If one is a gimmick so is the other.

What kind of logic is this? Because something is popular it is suddenly a gimmick?

fml. I must've stooped too low in the joke of a pissing contest, I think it even affected you, Oni. :(

 

It's not because something sells consoles that its a gimmick, otherwise Angry Birds is a gimmick, Diablo and WoW are gimmicks, Final Fantasy VII, among all FFs, is the one that is the most gimmicky of all of them because it pushed the most HW and SW.

...

The gimmickness of something is measured by an intrinsic attribute, popularity is inconsequential. Had the Wii been unpopular, would it not have been a gimmick? Very odd logic up there.

Your examples are bad, those are games. Games cant be gimmicks. Why is DVD a gimmick and not motion controls. I would put motion control in the that category. Simple because it didnt add much to gaming. There are very few types of games that benefited from its use. IMHO. It might not be as much of a gimmick as DVD playback.
