I know several editors are eager to compare Avatars and Miis, but leave that for subsections (and no OR, please). The intro paragraph should stand alone without direct comparisons. If you want to engage strangers in debate over who created what first, find a good message board and flame on.

Would somebody explain to me why pictures of people in a video game are somehow interesting/notable/important enough to get their own wiki page? Surely avatars should just be included in the Xbox Live page or something? <small>&mdash;Preceding comment made by [[Special:Contributions/81.101.36.95|81.101.36.95]] at 16:01, 27 September 2009.</small>

I don't follow the topic well enough, but since there is a list of games that utilize avatars, I think it may also be beneficial to include a list of games that include avatar rewards.
