Wrong again. I never said Sales = Quality. Had Squares recent games reviewed better and had better word of mouth there would've been more purchases, but that's besides the point. Are you saying IE & TLR are on the same level as say DQ, FF, or KH? You can spin as much as a top, it doesn't change the reality of the situation.

That is what you said.  You said it was less quality because it sold less.

If reveiwes are your metric you still run into the big wall that is IGN.

If you are trying to use some weird hybrid you will need to quantify exactly how many sales = each point of a review score.

 

Show me where I said SALES...

My point was made when Square's fans chose not to buy their more recent games. Square's games are not what they used to be. You can accept it, or continuously ignore it if you choose. It doesn't change what IS happening.

 

 

You still don't get the point, why are people NOT buying the games like they were before? That's what I'm getting at.

 

There are plenty of possible reasons none of which nessistate quality

1) They were Sony fanboys first, Square fans second

2) They've grown out of such games

3) Said games have moved away from what they are used to. (not indicitive of quality)

4) Games stayed too close to what they were used to and they're sick of it.  (Same.)

5) found other companies or genres they like better. (Ex: Wii.)

Or the biggy.

6) It's not named Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest or Kingdom Hearts.

 

Lost Oddesy sold 790 K worldwide

Best selling non FF,DQ or KH seller on the PS2?

That beats the second best non FF, DQ or KH JRPG on the PS2.

Squares JRPGs about industry average as the PS2 ones.
