Twilight must be among the best literature of our time, then.

If you're willing to defend that to keep your argument, Toastboy, you will show how seriously deluded you are with this argument.

WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

Poor toastboy. Since he isn't allowed to make "Nintendo is doomed" threads anymore, he has to exploit all other options to spell doom.

Didn't sean also say that SALES = QULITY ? -_-

Yes, he remindes everyone that's the case in every one of his articles. But it is kind of flawed to think that way, Super Mario 3D World is a really good game, I would even consider it of high quality! Low sales could mean that a product didn't match consumer expectations, therefore it's sales are low.

Just a question, do you consider any high selling games to be of bad quality ?

Sorry but correlation does not imply causation.
Usually, advertising and hype drives sales far more than the quality of a game (e.g. COD)

Not at all, I might not like all of them but that doesn't mean they are not high quality titles. They are, but we can't go around thinking that every game that didn't sell as good as Wii Sport is a low quality game. Not every game needs to sell 80 million units to be considered high quality, we could take into consideration other factors to decide what is a high quality game.
