After looking at best selling PS2 games, i reliased how happy companies must have been last gen because they didn't need 90+ on metacritic to sell games. Here is some facts.
Need for Speed 1 and 2 sold 6.5 million each, can you imagine NFS selling this amount even on both 360 and PS3?
Crash Bandicoot sold 5 million despite horrible reviews, and now many people didn't know when it released this gen.
Spiderman sold 4.33 million.
Simpsons: Hit and Run sold 4.24 million.
And the list is huge with 200+ million sellers.
I think metacritic and gamerankings have become to important this gen and with rising cost many dev just don't want to take risks with new IPs.
