Meh I really don't care if Heavy Rain sells below a million, as long as it has quality (Which is likely it'll have)
It is a new ip after all in a genre where there arent too many games for

Exactly.

It's good to see people, WHO JUST WANT A GOOD GAME, chime in more often. I suspect this thread was created to mock or taunt what the game may/may not sell. TRUE gamers just want a good game, despite what it sells.

True gamers also want their favorite games to sell well.

Why should they care? If the game is good enough, why should they sweat it's sales? I mean. sure, hopefully the game does well enough to warrant future IPs/and/or sequels, but that isn't the brunt of concern for most gamers. Let's ask the cult followers of Ico and SotC what they care about, GUARANTEE you, it aint sales....

"Selling well" can be defined by many things though, what YOU may deem as "selling well" at,  for example: 1mill, may not ACTUALLY be "selling well" at all, and vice versa. That's why it's better to ENJOY the game vs worrying over something you have NO control over...

This is what I find gamers this gen worry about more, if something sells 5 million copies. Who cares, if the game is no good (subjective btw), then it could sell 5 million and not be that good of a game. Sales =/= Quality, this is something that isn't very understood.

I really don't understand what attracted you to a sales site.

It's the one single characteristic that separates VGC from all other gaming sites.
