Sales, that's all people talk about. People actually think that more sales means better quality. But the fact is that's not always the case and it's sad that many people don't understand this. Or more likely chooses to ignore it.

If sales mean better quality, then I guess it's safe to say that "big bumpin" (a mediocre game) is the xbox 360's best exclusive and is one of the games that defines the xbox brand as it has high sales.



WTF is "big bumpin"?

And yes sales are the most importent thing at the end of the day, and yes they declare how much quality a product has.  Sure there are always the exception but most of the time sales=quality because thats what most people want...

Carnival Games and Mario and Sonic

 

Here let me bold the part that you obviously did not read.

How many does it take for it to not be the rule, and always the exception? I can start listing games on both the low end and high ends of the charts. When I show you about 20-30, they're just exceptions?

If sales does equal quality, Halo is almost 10X better than KZ2, and Wii Sports is multiple times better than every sports game ever. Or is that just an exception too. After being on the market for 9 months, Valkyria Chronicles is only at 500k. Just an exception? Haze is sitting at almost 800k, despite being deemed a straight up turd. Another exception? Halo Wars has outsold every console RTS to date, although its' average review score isn't much higher, and even under some games. Another exception? There are way too many exceptions for "sales = quality" to be remotely close to a rule
