Okami Wii sells nearly 50k in four days. Not too shabby.

metal gear ----> metal gear solid, zelda ----> zelda OoT, Super metroid ----> metroid prime....... all these series have had great grafical enhancements over the years, but only in the case of FFVII haters talk bad about it and say its the only reason so many people love the game, but in the case of MGS, OoT, MP and many other games the grafix are good but the gameplay is also amazing.... hypocrites..

 I can't comment on MG/MGS.

But in the other cases, Zelda:OOT is still an amazing game, yes.  Metroid prime is an amazing game, yes.  However, the reason they are so well-loved is because they managed to *adapt* the same gameplay to a new dimension, making it better in the process.

 In my opinion, FF7 did nothing to adapt the gameplay to a new dimension.  The battles are exactly the same, the overworld is exactly the same, the characters could easily be higher-resolution sprites and probably would have aged better (see Starcraft for proof of sprites aging well ).  In the end, all FF7 added was another dimension to the graphics without adding it to the gameplay as well. 

I am not saying that FF7's gameplay is bad (it isn't my cup o' tea, but thats not something that I'd generalize over).  However, the gameplay was not adapted at all, and so while it may have been good, it wasn't revolutionary in the same way that OOT and Metroid Prime were.  If you took the game, and made everything sprites, you be able to have basically the same game.  OOT and MP were designed around the third dimension; that's why they are looked upon better.
