 LMAO, exactly.  At least Nintendo first party games (not Mario Party or some of the other casual fair) usually have more talent behind them than Michael Bay movies.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

so 22/50 games that are ranked in the top 50 Wii games are in the top 50 Wii games sold, and 32/50 games that are ranked in the top 50 PS3 games are in the top 50 PS3 games sold. Interesting. Since 70% is passing, they both fail.

It's actually not that bad, considering the better Wii games are niche titles (NMH, Z&W), haven't gotten the proper advertisement (all), or should be ranked better.



well, if you're just going by games that averaged a 70% or higher, the wii is in the mid 20s and the ps3 is in the low 40s for games that made their respective top 50 sales lists.
