 But you don't think they would have gotten 800k-1mil if the review scores were even 15-20% higher? (Lair 75% - Haze 85%)

 

No.  You're confusing correlation with causation.  You should also consider that:

Someone plays the game before purchasing and forms their own opinion.

Some make purchases based a friend's opinion, rather than a critics.

Someone makes a purchasing decision off of a preview, rather than a review.

Someone makes a purchasing decision based off of an advertisement.

 

IGN has shown how little their reviews affect sales, I'd dig up the study if I weren't so lazy.  Review scores are mostly for fanboys like us to fight about.

 

I'd say quality affects sales more than a journalist's opinion of that quality.

 

Reads this post and agrees.

Poor Okami.
