"Take 2 new Ubisoft IPs such as Assassins Creed (HD) and Red Steel (Wii). Both had good advertising (at least in the UK) and both were of similar quality (as far as the critics were concerned). Red Steel sells OK, but Assassins Creed becomes the most successful new IP ever."
Critics are not the deciders of quality. The audience is, regardless of the game. Red Steel disappointed many, while Assassins' Creed was a successful take on the sandbox genre.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
