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.

There are things wrong here, but your main problem is preaching opinions as facts. It isn't a fact that GTA IV is a better game than SIREN: Blood Curse. Just your opinion.

 

 

No it's not... I liked SIREN more!! I just know it wasn't of the same quality. The DEFINITION of "quality" is "social standing or rank".  By definition, GTAIV is a higher quality game.  I just don't like it, and neither does other guy.  Our enjoyment was not a function of the quality or sales data.

It's semantics, really, but I was just making a point that I thought was less arguable than "it's not sales, it's quality".  We measure sales in numbers (totals or cash), we measure quality in numbers (rank or score)...  You can't measure "enjoyment".
