How can you define a game which sells <1M as quality? It probably has some flaw which keeps it from selling more. If so few people actually thought it was worthwhile to buy a game then how can it have much quality?

Quite simple: sales =/= quality.

Theres no better measure of quality than sales. All other measures are subjective and not comparable and noone can agree on anything. Its nowhere near a perfect system but its better than a subjective system and its better than no system.

Well, in that same vain Islam is the only true religion, right?

Maybe it's not quite the same, but the highest quality book of all time (in America) is certainly not the Bible.

 

There is a relationship between the two, but not a very strong one.

Other measures of quality exist, I'm sure, besides metacritic. I'm just curious that if we found another one, it might also be thrown out for being invalid.
