Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Sells 5 Million Copies

Well it looks like brand power has once again won out over quality. Word is that Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games has sold 5 million copies with the Wii and DS sales combined and since this happened two days ago it’s probably over 5 million by now. While this is great news about the Wii doing well and games selling well on it, it’s terrible news since this is one of the lesser games out there for the system. While Mario and Sonic flies off the shelves truly innovative and challenging games like Zak and Wiki or No More Heroes sit there just begging to be appreciated for how great they are.

I’m not against casual games and I’m definitely not against Mario and Sonic competing but they should do it in a really great game and gamers shouldn’t support a quick cash in like this so rampantly. So here’s what you can do to help. If you bought Mario and Sonic and are now bored with it (highly likely) go back to the store, turn in your copy and pick up Zak and Wiki. Trust me you won’t regret it.
