both brain age BB academy and nin dogs are mega franchises

Good call. You forgot MySims. The Sims and Sims 2 sold millions, also.

Of course, any "hardcore" gamer will decry this and say, "sales don't matter!"

Oh really? If Halo 1 was a huge flop, there would never have been Halo 2, (and probably not even an XBOX360, since Halo sold the XBOX for the first year). Use logic.

I think it's amazing how they manage to sell 12M of that crap. I mean, this "virtual pet" fad should have ended with the tamagochi fever. Put the resources into making real games for god's sake. lordxymor

I think it's amazing, too! I mean, people don't REALLY like those games. They must be brainwashed. I mean, what's with all those sidescrollers, too? I mean, shouldn't this "Mario" fad have died with Super Mario 3 on the NES? Make some real games!

[QUOTE="MikeE21286"]Yeah, they sell millions to 8 yr old boys and girls (nin dogs)......Would you honestly pay $50-$60 for anyoe of these games on a console.  To put them at say a Halo caliber like you said is diesprespectful to Halo.Bread_or_Decide

Fanboy.

What makes Halo a "Halo caliber" game? Is it because it's a sweet shooter? None of the above mentioned games are shooters, so what you're saying is, "My genre of games is the best!", which is an opinion.

Nintendogs and BB sold to lots of adults, actually. It shows how much you track the market...

OH jeez....Fanboy....... please.  I own a Wii, DS, PSP, 360, PS3, Wii, etc. Just because I don't like a game on a system doesn't make some1 a fanboy........Sorry that the thought of picking up simulated dog crap and shampooing a dog doesn't excite me.

You know what are some great DS games? Sonic Rush, New Super Mario Bros, and Hotel Dusk.  Love those games.

Yeah, it's your opinion.

But the vast majority of people who see people pay $400-600 for a toy, play games all day long, and waste money on even MORE games think that those types of people are "Brain-damaged".

Your opinion is in the minority, just like your opinion on Ashlee Simpson is in the minority. Millions and millions of people buy her CDs. (I happen to agree with you on this point, however).

As always, an opinion will be just that, an opinion. And an opinion will never sway the market.
