Wii sports made tons of people plop down $250 so it's definitely a contender ... Where exactly am I contradicting ? Don't just simply smear other peoples arguments without pointing the flaw ... How do we determine how well put together the product is ? |
You're contradicting in your definitions of quality, you're trying to say it's a game that is appreciated by many which many of the games you're arguing against are then you bring up sales and use them as a single indicator of quality when that is flawed. A game can sell off hype and marketing alone regardless of quality, many poor games like Shrek on the PS2 for example simply outsold the likes of ICO becausethe former carried a popular film's branding on it this is why that logic is flawed from the word go. We can tell how well a game is put together by playing it, we look at what the game's aim is, the overall execution and how it compares to what the industry has seen before.
Wii Sports is a big seller and a fun game yes but it's far from the quality displayed in some of its peers in the industry, I'm willing to go as far as to say that the cheap price of the Wii was the main killer app in itself as you could purchase the platform for the same price as a PSP during a recession when the other platforms cost almost 3 times as much. Even if someone didn't have as much interest in the platform it wasn't as heavy on the pocket to try it out.
