Only a few of the games listed are actually considered to be amongst the best games on the system they are for.

However while the very best games on the 360 and PS3 invariably seem to be the system's best selling games Gears and Halo on the 360 and MGS 4 on the PS3.

However as Casey Loe Play Magazine Associate Editor points out in The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: Trends in Gaming in 2009 Play Magazine Volume Eight Issue Four April 2009 issue pg. 20

"The Marginalization of Enthusiast Gaming

One of the things I always liked by the video game industry was the way quality and innovation actually mattered. It wasn't everything, but if you compared a list of top-selling games with a list of top-reviewed games, you'll see a lot of overlap, which you won't see in the worlds of film, literature, or music. But with the rise of the Wii and iPhone, two platforms that are swimming in wildly successful crap, those days may be coming to an end. Casual gamers have such different priorities that they make formerly mainstream game reviewers seem like overeducated film critics who prattle on about mise en scene and milieu while their readers skim for mentions of car chases or tits. There are enough enthusiast gamers that the franchises geared to us will continue to thrive, but in 2009 I can only see the rift between casual gamers and enthusiast gamers widening, with the gaming hardcore-types slowly transforming from nerds to snobs in the eyes of the public. I'm not sure that's an improvement."

Even on the DS, another Nintendo console, you tend to find the highest rated game on the system New Super Mario Bros. also being the system's highest selling game.

While on the Wii three of the system's most average games are its highest selling games while two of its best games No More Heroes and Madworld have both had rather terrible sales in comparison to those three games.

@NoName: You're right, i think we should ignore all the facts.

@BTFeather: If i recall, Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy are far higher rated by reviewers than No More Heroes and Madworld, which takes us to same context with the quotation in your post and the NSMB comment.

On a side note, it's interesting how the guy thinks growth being so bad thing. In reality that's the only way to keep getting the games he likes, since the costs are only going up.

Iphone, come on, the guy should have taken some better example.

Once in a while that even gets you elected to two consecutive terms as President!

@noname2200

No More Heroes and Madworld both have higher Metacritic scores than Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, and much higher than Wii Chess, Wii Play, and Wii Music.

@bdbdbd

The fact that Mario Galaxy and Zelda Twilight Princess are even better than Madworld and No More Heroes, yet have still sold less than the Wii games gives even stronger evidence to the fact that the Wii's best games don't sell the most amount of games on the console.

You're arguing my case for me...

But mostly I was pointing out that No More Heroes is in no way, shape, or form, one of the better Wii titles. It's just not, period.

     Well, I've got Play's 2008 Year in Review Issue and in that Heather Campbell says the only Wii game she liked in 2008 was No More Heroes and I think No More Heroes and Wario Shake It! are the only two Wii games Dave Halverson included
in his Top Ten Games of 2008. 

@BTFeather: No, it's not proving that the better games would sell worse. Considering it's the customers that define the quality, it's more likely that the reviewers can't review games.

Feather dude - you can't take reviews as perfect because they aren't. Most of reviewers are very snob, douche and they reviews are very biased. So yeah X game received a 10. so what? that doesn't necessarily means is good or bad. Take wii sports, many reviewers gave it very low ratings and only because it didn't had blood, mega super duper graphics and cinematic scenes, and yet is one of the most important and influential games on many generations. They couldn't/wanted to see that because of their arrogance. Take reviews as a reference, never as facts.

Also...I can't believe you put your silly and unreal prediction on your tag. That's so sad.

What's my tag to you, Bobbuffalo?
