But the Wii is a hardcore party machine.

Not to organisms who want to insult those who see Wii Sports for the masterpiece that it is.

I actually do think that Wii Sports is a great game. Especially Tennis and Bowling (because these are the ones I'm good at).

I love bowling! Boxing is fun too, but it's too tempting to just turn around and face your opponent and do the real thing. I enjoy most of the sports except for golf. That might have something to do with me not liking golf period.

I agree. I just don't like golf.  The game itself is fine though. 

I'm into AAA Wii games like this, Mario Party, and the Rabbids games.

^^Yup! Stellar AAAA games with stellar AAAA sales. Or is it great hardcore games with hardcore sales?

They aren't metacritic over 90% though. :p

That's cause they're way too hardcore for metacritic. Their system can only handle up to AAA. We're talking about AAAA titles here.

lol the hardcore part had a :P next to it bol but I'm glad you still follow whatever rol says as always :P good to know you haven't given up stalking him.

What you guys need to know is that this never started as a thing about the wii, which is why I made the joke about the hardcore thing, because it was obviously going to lead to the wii, because everything leads to the wii regardless of topic, especially when you talk about AAA or AAAA. XD

I'm just compiling sales data and while it may be a big joke to say "haha metacritic lulz" but you show me a better way to compile what are generally viewed as fantastic games, without going into an opinion debate between everyone on vgchartz. Should I get out my notepad while you dictate? Big laughs all round.

The whole part about wii sports came up because I said the ratios for the wii and ps3 after a cursory lookup, and people said that I should include wii sports and I think it is for no more reason than that it will boost the ratio, because it was mentioned along with wii fit.
Now it is all cool for you to cherry pick Bol and say wii sports without mentioning wii fit like was originally brought up, but if you are going to start backing some games that didn't make 90+ then allow for others to do the same with their own systems.
I think there are plenty of stellar games that didn't make the list, but if we start including games in it for no reason other than that they have a lot of sales, which was the very first objection (because sales equal quality!), then this list is going to get complicated and never finished and it won't show anything, not even a simple idea that a system with a high AAA game sales have high attachment rates will show up.
But if you want you can make your own chart and compare wii sports wii play and wii fit sales and compare them to halo and others then you are free to do so, just know that it won't show the same things.

One of the things this graph shows is the AAA persistence for the original xbox, and has maybe a bit of insight into how the xbox became such a powerhouse in attachment rates and maybe the buying trends of owners.

This data shows a lot more than anything about the wii so follow the rules in the OP, and stop crying and getting defensive. I don't even know what the data shows yet, this could show something positive for the wii when all is said. Oi gavald!
