Now take COD4 higly successful and highly popular, why? because it was a very good game. Same for World of Warcraft.
A good game can be percieved by how well it caters to the genre. WOW does it for MMORPD's and COD4 does it for FPS's.
Now I believe the fact you won member of the minute...clearly shows that you cannot see other peoples views.

GameSpot named Persona 3 the best RPG of 2007. Gamespy named it the 2007 PS2 RPG Game of the Year and placed it second in the 2007 PS2 Top 10 Games of the Year. RPGFan gave Persona 3 the RPGFan's Best RPG of 2007 Award.
Some guy died while playing WoW and IGN gave it an 8.8.
You've never heard of Persona 3, have you? Yet it's rated highly and wins GoTY awards, while the most popular game in the world is just "hm...it's better than other MMO's I guess...8.8".

Okay, not that much lol but still....
Persona 3 is good, however it got little-to-no advertising outside of Japan, that's why it didn't sell a lot.
Wikipedia isn't reliable? Maybe so, but.....
*looks on the back of Persona 3's case (it was in a stack of games..... it was above Dragon Quest 8, and below FF8, FF7, and Persona 4..... oh cool, I just saw V For Vendetta under my bed)*
'The Best RPG of 2007*'
'*GameSpot Best of 2007 Awards'

Funny, I post a fact to back up my argument, and you have nothing useful to say, so you complain about the gaps within my post....
