Hype's relative. WSR didn't really have it in that there was no raging buzz prior to release.

You're right about one thing though, this discussion is a waste of time, it's long since gotten boring.

Didn't have it? Then explain the 500,000+ customers then. Like I said, a bunch of likely customers were Wii Sports fans, a game which almost every Wii owner has. It may not be hyped up for you, but it sure was for those 500,000 + customers, which likely were not "core" gamers like us. Hype is universal, not only made for "core" gamers and game sites. 

WSR just was a terrible example because SLW isn't meeting the conditions WSR had; therefore, that entire discussion of WSR was completely irrelevant to it. Anyway, carry on I suppose....

Again, casuals don't care enough about gaming to engage in hype.

It didnt need to relate to Sonic specifically, just to show that sales and hype are not one and the same.
