Forums - Sales Discussion - History in the Making... Wii Sports to become #1 Sold Videogame of All Time

Two revolutionary games. Have respect for both of them. Both started and took off a new generation of gaming.

You know what's REALLY funny? That's exactly the sort of response you'd get from PC gamers if you suggested that SMB was anywhere near as important as Pong or Adventure...

 

Well, I mean there are a few benchmarks, pong for example is just another one.

I don't hate wii sports.... It's fun occasionally at parties and stuff.... But if you play it extensively as a real game... a screw is loose in your head. I'm not just another hater.... In fact I bought both a launch nintendo DS and Wii, so I don't need to hear your pre-teen  hyper-defensive shit. My point is, and has always been: the Wii is the most disapointing console I have ever bought. I can take a few RRoD's, so long as I actually use the damn thing to play games to make it RRoD. Luckily for me, my xbox hasn't done it yet. Although I have been kind of wanting it to happen... It's sort of a mystical thing. Like, a meteor shower. But itstead of meteors, you get flying hot bits of dead rising, or whatever game you have in the drive

I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Sorry Mine Sweeper doesn't count. not for any stupid arbitrary reason either. MineSweeper and X games don't count becuase they are bundled with the OS. When people are buying their PC they are getting the OS with some games with it. So it's the OS that matters. Minesweeper is irrelevant to the function of the PC or OS. Where as WiiSports is a game designed to be played on a game console.

 

That's still an arbitrary reason. What gives you the right to decide what criteria have to be met in order for a game to count?

Wiisports is no more relevant to the function of the Wii than is Minesweeper to the PC, and last time I checked, Minesweeper, Free Cell, Solitaire were games that were designed to be played on a PC.

Still, what about Tetris? In addition to console sales, I'm sure that plenty of PC owners have spent countless hours toying with tetrominos.

I'd encourage the reactionary sorts in this topic to read that. It may well be enlightening, or at least help you accept that your opinion is not in fact the Alpha and Omega.

EDIT: you know what? It's not worth wasting your intelligence with people who act like they know everything. You just let them do their own thing. It'll all pan out.

About all I have to say to that statement is that those who act elitist rarely are elite in any sense of the term. The authentically wise do not waste their time posturing themselves as wise; they share their knowledge freely and allow criticism to come in willingly, responding intelligently and considerately to it no matter what form it takes.
