Feel like you're just stuck on this "It sold millions of copies so it must be the best thing out there", so you think nothing I say can have any validity because you think quality is somehow correlative to # of sales.

Depends on how you look at it. WoW is the best MMO from a business perspective. It gets both hardcore and casual fans alike playing it. If a game can do that, how can you not say that it's not superior? I guarantee any game you can list will not fall into both casual and hardcore sides. It'll vastly be to one side or another (usually the hardcore side).
On the flip side, I can understand saying it's not the best because it has this, or doesn't do that. But that's more opinion that you cannot honestly back up with fact (in most cases).
It's really the same with music. Why is Justin Beiber "bad" because YOU don't like him? I'm not defending him because, frankly, I've never heard one of his songs. But I feel if a majority of a populace likes something and it pulls in the most money, and it's known by the most people, it should be considered the best. Music and gaming tastes are opinion. Money and subscribers/CD sales are cold hard facts.
