I understand what you mean, so Sales is taking it to the extreme. But what about this.

For example, there's a game you really don't respect, or you disagree with what it stands for, and consider that the level of sales it obtains is not what you would judge worthy.

Let's say you consider the NSMB series as a milking of the Mario genre, and you don't really like that, and especially don't think it should be bought by so many when there are maybe other things to buy, and it really throws you off when people are not getting to play the experiences that truly are innovative, like let's say Little Big Planet.

Wouldn't you want the game that is doing "too" well to do less well? And in such a case, cheer for its downfall if/when it happens?

No, I wouldn't cheer for a game's failure. I feel sorry for those who do.

I hear you, but i think in some instances its ok, for example the BS that Capcom has been doing with their fighting games of late. I can see why some might want SFxT to not do so well. For me its not malice, I like Capcom fighters, some people just want them to stop the crap they have been doing. and since money is the only language they understand, then flop away.
