Well I answered that too, but I'll admit that the Wii Sports comment was a little off topic. I'll add that I bought the Wii for Super Mario Galaxy, after the Wii was around 3-4 months old. I'm not comparing Wii Sports to SM64 or Halo (hell no), but they do have one thing in common; they're launch titles. And launch titles are important.
And well, Halo may have defined the console FPS we know and love today, but did it really define the Xbox? I don't know, I can't answer that, I'm not the most hardcore Xbox gamer you'll find... And SM64 defined the 3D platformer, but I guess it could also be done on other consoles (PS1) at the time... Don't shoot me if I'm wrong, I'm not a techie.
Wii Sports isn't half of those games, hell not even a hundredth of them. But it did define the Wii because of the controls. That's why at least 80 million copies of it exists around the world. But yeah, SM64 and Halo is a thousand times better, end of off topic rant.

Wow.
I really don't know how to respond to you as it doesn't seem like you're interested in following a structured conversation. I have no idea what type of point you are trying to make, but I do know that the one point you make definitively:
" I'll add that I bought the Wii for Super Mario Galaxy, after the Wii was around 3-4 months old."
Is just plain wrong.
But I won't shoot you :)

Sorry, it's just my bad English... Some of my sentences gets formed badly, probably like this one :/
In that sentence you highlighted, I meant that I got the Wii in March 2007, when the Wii was 3-4 months old. I bought it primarily to play Galaxy later that year.
I realize now that I put in too many unrelated points in a post, but what I meant in many of my points, is just that Wii Sports was a very good killer app to bring in new audiences, since it was so easily understandable to everyone.
Hope that made a little more sense to you..
