And I've seen a bunch of people very happy with their purchase. Guess it's your fake data against my fake data. And since when do you care about what people think? I thought you were the ultimate proponent of capitalism like Colbert. MW2 sold like crazy, therefore it must be great. |
Actually I said that sales show how much a game appeals to the market, and that low sales show that games have low appeal and that very high sales indicates that the market finds a game to be more appealing, and I did say that I'm not interested in the reviews of the "official media", but user reviews are actually important, as word of mouth can impact sales, if people hear from others that a game is bad, then the appeal will die out, and the sales will drop off. The game has sold well, but has yet to break 10 million, or even get close to the likes of a game like Mario Kart Wii, and bad word of mouth is one thing that could easily cause its sales to drop off in the coming weeks.
also user reviews aren't fake data, I can show you the low metacritic user reviews of the game to prove my point.
