You're right. It is BS but games like Boom Blox get a bum deal from reviewers that are almost universally male, age 18-25 and because they control the media outlets for gaming information, and the loudest voices on the forums, that they somehow represent a majority of the market. If that were true the Wii would not be outselling both HD consoles combined. It’s an inconvenient reality that the most of the industry columnists manage to ignore to an incredible degree.

Don't believe me? Go to any site that's not specifically for Nintendo fans and where those embarrassing actual sale numbers are not posted and read the site as though you had just arrived from Mars. Then tell me based on what you read what console(s) would you think were runaway hits.
