The fact that lots of people buy something is not a reliable indicator of quality.
Nothing to do with being great or quality in my post-did you actually read it?

To me, selling a lot just means you are selling beyond a built-in fan base, imho. For example, the Nintendo Wii pushing video consoles beyond hardcore gamers, etc. Or in this case, (or the iPhone), selling beyond the "apple fan" base and reaching the mainstream.
