I think that's the point.  You left out good games and by doing so it seems you are implying only crap games sell on Wii.  If you had left those games in then it would have weakened your argument. 

As for the games you left in it goes to show how you or any other so called hard core person cannot be the judge of what is a good game and what is not.  The people that think Wii Sports is a bad game (let alone mediocre) are in the minority big time.  If you think Wii Sports is a bad game then I think you have very bad taste in games.  Wii Fit is great for what it is.  Mario and Sonic I absolutely love.  If you think it is mediocre that's your problem.  Tons of people disagree.  I have been playing games for 20 years now and love all manner of games.  I absolutely love Fallout 3 which you would obviously classify hard core.  But at the same time I can have an open mind and love quality 'casual' games like Wii Sports and Mario & Sonic.  But the fact I have been gaming for ages and play 'hardcore' games does not give me the right to tell others what is a good game or bad game.  Wii Music is the exception of course.  I think it is crap and everyone must accept my view on that game as FACT.

@ tuoyo. Wii Sports is a horrible game and Mario ad Sonic is not fun in the least bit. Your opinions are crap.

The problem with that thinking is that Wii games don't follow the same pattern as HD games.

The big hitter HD games sell 100s of thousands of copies in the first week, then tail off to selling around 10-20k per week... thus they are easy to notice on the charts for the first few weeks, and still show up if you look for them, further down the charts.

The average HD game does exactly the same except with lower numbers and even poorer "legs" which means they show up fine in the top 10 of the charts for week 1, and stay visible for 2-3 more weeks, then will dissapear.

The big hitter Wii games start high, though not quite as high as HD ones, but then continue to sell 50-100k per week, which is why you see them on the charts each week.

The average Wii games are lucky to be in the top 50 for more than 1-2 weeks, and the early debut will mostly go unnoticed unless you search for that specific game.... but then it can stay in the 50-200 spot for months on end, if not even longer in some cases.

----

Thus the Wii big hitters sell more than most HD big hitters (I am starting to hate that term now) over their full lifetime, and both are equally noticable in the charts even if in reality the Wii titles have more presence (Wii fit in top 10 still)

But the average titles for Wii can still sell just fine, it's just that they do so mostly unnoticed.

Actually I have played Wii Sports and Wii Play and they are indeed mediocre and bad.  Even if they were OK to good games is it a reason to celebrate games that clearly had little investment made into them sell so incredibly. 

Again I left out the good games not to imply the Wii doesnt have any good games that sell.  Fact of the matter of those top 10 games 6 of them are mediocre at best and yes that includes Wii Sports.   No I havent played all of those, but how many bad games on the 360, PS3, or previous generations have you played?  Just because for some stupid reason or another a mediocre or bad game sells incredibly well on a platform are we obliged to play it so we can say it is indeed a mediocre or bad game.  I didnt play Too Human on the 360 and willing to say it is mediocre.

Wii Sports is one of the most revolutionary games of all time. But besides for that, you make an excellent point.

Lol.  As crap as Boom Blox?

lol opinions arguing with more opinions.

And I agree with this topic.

Plus you(thx) say "people keep buying the same games," no that's not true. I'm pretty sure I only own one copy of every game I own. I don't own 30 copies of Mario Kart and I doubt anyone else does to.

Or, we could not discount Wii Sports and Wii play because they are both games with valid sales.  That gives the Wii 7 out of the top 10 and aligns it with its great appeal.  

OT: I agree 100%.  

My point: speak for yourself.  

To the average person, the top core games, like MGS4 and Halo 3, are bad because they are unplayable for the average person. Good or bad all depends on the target audience. The Wii games are very good for their intended audience, as are the top 360 and PS3 games. You and the hardcore gaming audience aren't the only ones in the world games are developed for, quit thinking so selfishly.
