so then whats a shovelware game, since you seem to know? How much does a game have to sell to be considered shovelware? What is a quality game? who decides?

It's not a well-defined concept, but an easy way to identify shovelware is by looking at things like attention to detail, glitchiness, and amount of functionality. Compare the 16.2% on gamerankings game, Family Party: 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade for Wii U (watch a review of it here) with the 58.39% on gamerankings game, Carnival Games for Wii (review here). Carnival Games had flaws, but there was a lot of attention to detail, only a few glitches (plus a few control flaws), and a variety of functionality. Family Party, on the other hand, was a glitchy, barely-playable mess. Carnival Games was a low-budget title. Family Party was shovelware.

well considering the Just Dance games, especially the early ones, didnt even work. Im gonna put that in shovelware category despite it selling so well.
