Tomadachi Life... The game just looked eh but it sold reallyy well

Came here to post this.  The game is pretty mediocre.  It really didn't deserve to sell as well as it did.

Out of (more or less) recent games, Dying Light...personally, I've enjoyed it, but with 74/75 Meta it surprised me that it sold 4.5millions - maybe it just shows that most people actually don't give a rats ass about Meta in the first place.

I'm surprised that some of you are surprised at some AAA zombie games selling. I mean for years I've seen zombie themed games selling like they always do, maybe not a lot but they sell enough to be around more often than say Vampire or werewolf themed games.

Rocket League, the original game didn't do very well at all even though essentially it's the same game. PS+ gave it an insane amount of publicity though and really helped it reach success.

Sure, zombies sell by dafault (well almost by default, not sure that ZombiU/Zombi sold much), but in my case (Dying Light), my surprise that it sold as much as it did (4.5 millions) comes from the fact that not only its Meta is 74/75, but that a lot of major publications gave it 70 or lower.
