Mmmmm... Disagree... PSAllstars Battle Royale looks like a flop and has the PS in the name... Don't u agree??

No. 'Playstation' isn't a console. 'Playstation' is a brand. The console is called 'Playstation 3'. Had Sony name it 'Paystation 3 All Star Battle Royale', then you'd have a point....

...but you don't

@basil, well after looking at that list of games I would say that any of those games selling over 2 million would be a decent success. None of those titles really jumps out at me. As for Monster Hunter, it did pretty damn good selling over 2 million. There are 3 PSP Monster Hunter games that sold more (Monster Hunter Freedom Unite sold the most at 5.35) . However, if you compare Monster Hunter 1+2 to 3 in sales then it looks a lot better.

ok they have one game that i would buy in the top 10 and maibe smash brothers but camon , that top 10 shows why sales =/= quality.

Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy are all high quality. Undeniable, wether you like them or not is irrelevant.

Nice at least it is something.

I would need to be threatened with extreme butt rape while my house ir burning down, with navy seals poiting out guns at my family to play anything from PS3 and X360 top 10.

Its so good to have your own personal tastes for gaming. I love it.

Hmmm this does not seem to make much sense, using internet science guns, blood, boobs should be out selling these games.

Actually, the Wii isn't that much higher than the PS3 & 360. When you exclude any games with 'Wii' in the title, the list would be virtually identical.

I'm sure if the PS3 had games with 'PS3' in the title, they would sell as much as those Wii games. The difference is: Sony doesn't implement dirty tactics for sales like Nintendo does. Sony wants to earn success. That doesn't include putting the name of the console in a game's title to mislead consumers.

The only reason Wii games sell so much is because game have the word 'Wii' in their title.

What? What was that?

[PABR pic]

you were saying?

Okay...one game. WoW. It's okay to do this a few times. It only becomes dirty when you do it consistently (I'm looking at you, Nintendo)

Besides, Sony didn't orignally want to include 'Playstation' in the title. They've said so themselves. But they released a poll on the PSBlog and the overwhelming majority voted that Sony should put it in the title. Sony's just trying to please consumers (as usual)

Explain to me how including "Wii" in the games title is misleading?

So, you have no counter-argument.

Are you admitting defeat?
