no halo ? the list phailz !

The other thing with wii-play, its a free game you get with a wii-mote. Fair enough if you had to pay full retail.

 It isn't free. A wiimote with wiiplay costs more (albeit not that much) than a wiimote by itself.

I know that this has been mentioned, but I felt it was worth addressing again.

"I have Wii Play. And I'm sure you do too, if you own a Wii. And yet I've haven't even played it once. I've never even taken the disc out of the box. Why? Because it comes free with a Wii Remote."

What an idiot, first he says that the game is the worst on the list then tells us that he has not even played it once. I agree the game is not SMG, but it is worth the $10 that it costs to own it. I have paid $40-$50 for games that were a lot worse then Wii Play I can tell you that.

Second, this fool said he only bought the game for the remote. Is he an absolute idiot or does he think that it was smart to pay $10 more for a remote he could have bought by itself. After reading this, the list has no credibility coming from this retard.

This list definitely sounds like it was made by some 12 year old kid. No sucessful bad games before the PS2? Huh?

OT I like Mario Part 8, not sure why it gets bashed so much. Cooking Mama is pretty bad, but I could come up with a whole slew of other games that should make the list before it does. (Where is Madden?)

And I think Wii Play is kind of lame to throw on there. Wii play is meant as a second controller with what is basically a tech demo compilation to get you used to the wii remote. Its not purchased for its depth or replayability.

 Ico and Shadow of the Collosus were good games, but nobody played them.

You cannot say that other people's opinions do not matter, it's just certain games only appeal to a small comunity, but that does not mean they are bad

I agree with the list,i think that that the simpsons game does deserve success though,for once there was a decent movie/tv video game

I recently bought Wii Play as a standalone game, so I have to disagree with it not deserving its success.
If you find it boring, just try getting above 13 in laser hockey, or getting all the way through tanks without dying, or getting a perfect score in Charge. The only game I don't enjoy in there is the ping pong rallying, and really, I have Wii sports if I want a better version of that, so I'll just play the other 8 games and not worry about it.
The shooting game may not be duckhunt, but it's still fun, and pretty much every game STARTS easy, but gets progressively more challenging as you go along.
Plus, it's fun for multiplayer too. Billiards, airhockey, shooting, and find mii are all fun to compete in, and Tanks offers a semi compete/semi coop mode that is a great deal of fun.
For all those people saying "oh, it's the Wiimote selling, not the game!" Maybe you should consider the fact that there are standalone wiimotes being sold all over the place. If people didn't at least want the game a little, they could just BUY the wiimote by itself. So quit deluding yourselves into thinking the game shouldn't be selling well. When you buy it with the Wiimote, you're essentially getting the game for $10. For $10, Wii Play is an INCREDIBLE game, and sales are merely reflecting that.
Why can't people get that the basic equation for sales is not (How Good game is) = (how good sales are) but (but good game is)/(price) = (how good sales are) Wii Play just happens to be at a pricepoint well below what its quality and fun factor warrant, thus sales are proportionately higher.

Yeah I agree with Transformers and WWE Smackdown but the rest I don't completely agree.

I agree with all but Wii Play, i dont think it should be included in the highest selling game list because its kinda unfair but you get more than £5 worth of gaming from it, tanks in 2 player is ridiculously addictive and the rest ar also fun.
