Better games equal better sales. |
Okami, Beyond Good & Evil, Viewtiful Joe, etc say hello.
|
If those were the best games the industry had to offer I would find a new hobby. |
Forget personal opinion. I really doubt you've never run across a game you loved that sold poorly.
The fact is that those games were critically acclaimed, and critical reviews don't equate sales. MK Wii vs GTA IV has proven that big time.
Madworld got better reviews than The Conduit, but both are selling at the same respective rate.
|
Well my opinion is if people genuinely enjoy a game they would buy it.
Madworld and Conduit aren't doing too bad, but if those were better games I think they would have sold better.
|
It would be if more people liked the game, than "better". Seems like nitpicking, but it's a very important distinction.
|
Well if they were better more people would like them and buy them. |
No, if it appealed to them more they would buy it. Big difference.
|
Well if it doesn't appeal to a lot of people it must be lacking something. |
But that lacking thing is what appeals to those who would buy it. "Better" is too general a thing.
Super Audio CD or DVD Audio had better sound quality than CDs, but not better convenience, which MP3 had. So even though both were better than CDs, it was the specific kind of better that mattered. Thus simply calling something "better" doesn't really indicate much in terms of market appeal.
