More meant in the realm of "sold really well must be the best thing ever," mentality. They're not garbage games by any means but more of a general sales aren't indicative of quality/"how awesome is the game." I've enjoyed most of the games on the list but just think the list mean...

As interesting as the numbers are, I can't help shake the feel that people equate sales numbers to quality too damn much. It is interesting to see, though.

Most official translations are pretty terrible (either far too literal or way-out there liberal to the point they don't get the right point at all [fuck you Del-Rey]) to be honest.

Generally speaking:

Light Novel / Visual Novel / Other similar source > Manga > Anime.

Generally.

Most action-y serieseseseses, I'd give a nod to the Anime if only for the "important" scenes being better to watch. Usually, however, the story gets butchered in the process :(

There was a reason for my first post like that~ The chart is dominated by Nintendo. Figures, though, noone can really doubt the popularity of most of the games on the list. [spoiler]Quality, however, is a different issue entirely~[/spoiler] Not surprised to see Gran Turismo up there. Actually, I'm s...

Haha, didn't mean for you to take it off the list. Was just honestly wondering on it since it felt like it's an inflated number. That's all.

Considering that most people who bought a controller were more-or-less forced to buy WiiPlay to get an additional one when it first came out ... I dunno if I'd really count it. I wonder how many people really bought WiiPlay based on it's own merits.

So, some interesting things from The Sims 3: Exploring the mysteries of the mind with The Sims 3 . Alice and Kev: The story of being homeless in The Sims 3 . *goes back to doing nothing* Edit: Infinite Space recently released and it seems to be doing well (both in sales and reception). Interesting. ...

Well, yes and no. The reason it is so successful is that you can finish books at a ridiculous pace (Masterpiece, the longest book at 2000+ pages, takes ~50 Sim hours to finish) so you can make quite a bit of money by finishing multiple books. You get one payment per week (~15,000 per Best Seller Mas...

Then that makes me a shameless pirate. And I really don't fucking care~ Especially in regards to shows that are currently airing. The Sims 3 is interesting, though not without some issues (notably the toggling off of progression doesn't actually stop it~). [spoiler]A tip: Writing makes tons of cash....
