The new Guinness World Records® 2011 Gamer's Edition has stepped in to put an official stamp on many of the amazing app and sales stories that have made headlines over the past four years.

It's not "Guinness worthy" to base records on the popularity of products.

Then there's the issue of the fairness of their categories. E.g. comparing the Apple App Store (the exclusive iPhone provider of little programs) with Steam (a non-exclusive PC game distributor with hundreds of games better than anything sold in the Apple App Store). Or, counting a smartphone (which is sold as a phone) with dedicated portable game systems (which are sold as gaming systems).
