Just look at Wii Sports (76) and Wii Fit (80). These two titles are probably the biggest revolution in gaming since the transition to 3D, yet there is not a whole lot of love from traditional reviewers. In the meantime, the mainstream media and public can't get enough of this stuff.

Sort of how movie critics hated on Star Wars, because it wasn't Easy Rider or The Godfather. Not saying those are bad movies, just pointing out the critical discrepancy. 


To quote George Lucas on Star Wars, from the back of the book "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls":

"Popcorn pictures have always ruled.  Why do people go see them?  Why is the public so stupid?  That's not my fault."



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
