By lengthening this argument one could easily say that only bad games sell badly, and that is just not true.

Well something causes even good games not to sell, and unless there is some cultural prejudice, it's not reasonable to blame the audience.

I blame the audience.  People are to eager to pick up the latest game that is basically last years game with a higher number.  Few people like to try anything new, which is evident by games that gain popularity well after their release.  Case in point:

You could say that a lot of consumers have been trained to stick to well-known established properties because of how much crap the publishers flood the market with. While there are some companies like Nintendo which have built a solid reputation for delivering a decent product which encourages people to buy lesser-known/unknown IPs, most publishers release several mediocre or bad games for every good game they release in a year.

Realistically, if you were a consumer who didn't spend much time studying videogames I'm pretty sure you would stick to the same games as the majority of the industry is.
