"Yes, Nintendogs. You got me. Actually, it looks like Smash Bros. has a comfortable lead now. I _TOLD_ you not to count out those fanboys..."

"Well that's the thing... what makes the "best" game of the decade? Your personal favorite? The most influential? The most original? The most fun? The best designed? The Halo video focused on the historical significance of the game in a business sense, even. I like that it's open to the voters' interpretation and everyone can pick based on their own personal criteria."

"I think WoW has the best chance of winning it all, but don't underestimate the Nintendo fanboy crowd mobilizing to push Smash Bros. over the top, against all odds."

"True, but it's obviously not a direction people are willing to pay $120 for. I believe the original Guitar Hero only retailed for $80, so this might be a pricing issue. Or it might be that DJing to hip hop mashups just isn't as resonant as playing guitar to rock hits. Or it might be that the DJ Hero controller just wasn't good enough (the crossfader is awful!). Whatever the reason, the less than expected sales so far are likely to put off imitators."

""With the poor performance of DJ Hero, do you think that puts a downer on the prospects for other yet to be released hip hop rhythm games?" Yes."
