"As for Amazon, who cares. Pokemon sold like crack in the slums, did that make it the most amazing game on earth? What a great american comment to make though; "Well if everyone is buying it, then it must be the best." One word for you, McDonalds."
Who said that the pre-sales numbers make the Wii "the best"? Someone said that this bit of news is "another blow to Nintendo", obviously implying that this is going to eventually cost Nintendo market share. I replied that the Wii seems to do pretty damn well so far. That's all.
As far as "the most amazing game on Earth", I agree that sales numbers aren't a criterion for that. A lot of people who are into consoles seem to think though that cool graphics make a game great, which is about as silly as thinking that a game is great because it sells well.
"I stand by my earlier claim that this will be the last home console on a compeditive level (a joke even in this case) from Nintendo, there business model just cant keep up with rising development costs."
