"No, it isn't.  Quality is a "degree of excelence" or "social standing," both of which Siren would fall to a lesser tier than GTAIV.  However, Siren has certain qualities you enjoy more.  Quality can be a subjective term, but it is defined by a mass audience.  What qualities you like or dislike are a very personally subjective thing.  The measured quality of Siren, from reviews, was somewhat average, with complaints of stiff controls, slow start, and repetitive environments (all negative qualities, taking away from its overall quality).  GTAIV was almost universally praised as near perfect quality.  Despite this, both you and I have games that we enjoy much more.  So, our enjoyment isn't chained to the actual quality of the game, because enjoyment is entirely subjective and has nothing to do with quality or sales."

When you played a game and enjoyed that game, there was at least one factor of that game that the developers did right enough to earn your time, attention, resources, and energy.  That's where that quality of that factor or factors comes in to draw you in for the enjoyment of that game.  Quality is NEVER defined by the masses beacuse the masses isn't always right, and the masses isn't always wrong.  CGI-Quality is correct that gaming isn't based on sales, and I cannot see where you will have a problem with it.  And look at his name, "CGI-Quality."  There is CGI quality, there is cel-shaded quality, there is anime style quality, etc.  One quality isn't necessarily better than the other.  It depends what has been done well enough to appeal to a certain audience or person.  As a survival/horror fan, I've come across several titles of such poor quality that there was nothing enough of good quality to make it recommendable.  So when CGI-Quality said "quality," he was correct in its proper and applicable content in which gamers play quality games that they enjoy which appeals to them, not because of sales.  If you honestly think that quality is determined by the mass, you my friend are nothing but sheep to allow the masses to sway you in whatever direction it calls for.  And for your info, the Wii is my preferable console of choice, not because of the mass hardware sales, not because of the mass software sales, not because it's the most popular.  It's because I'm a Miyamoto fan in which it doesn't matter how good or bad a Nintendo console sells as long as I have the games I want and enjoy to play of high quality.
