Better read before you quote! I got nothing there. I talked about sales statistics and reports from magazines.
Because of this no comments are needed on your other quotes as well. It will save us a lot of discussions.
How very close minded of you...

so because it was written in some magazine, by some guy it must be true or did you mean to say you did not agree with the magazines? In that case I misunderstood.
But if you really believe in what those magazines wrote there, then I was also criticizing what you think. Take it any way you see fit, you don't have to discuss anything with me if you do not want to and with all due respect I couldn't really care less.

Spore is another interesting story. The hype tells it was innovative.
To me it's easier to see the innovation in a title like Spore than in a title like Bioshock or Halo 3...
Cheers
