"People could always just go outside and play any sport, but there are still sports video games. Nobody complains about sports video games like they complain (aka be elitist) about Guitar Hero and Rock Band."
Well, I don't think most people actually complain about it, they just express their amazement on how it's so overrated. Sports games, race games whatever normally have a great deal of skill to them. What's skilled about pretending to play guitar ? Why not just play the real thing since you're also moving your hands anyway ?
