Your reading comprehension is lacking.
Outside of Canada and a handful of other winter nations like the Scandinavian countries, the Summer Games are consistently much more watched, have more countries competing in them and have a much higher number of athletes participating. I don't think I've ever come across anyone that isn't aware of the fact that the Summer Games, on a global scale, are generally viewed as much more prestigious than the Winter Games.
And I never ranked the CWG's over the Winter Olympics. Even in my original post what I said was that they are more attended and more athletes participate in the CWG's than the Winter Games, but they aren't more prominent. *facepalm*
