Kind of does... if the game is actually very good, the hype will help and when reviewers supports it, it works. Uncharted 2 - word of mouth, hype, awards > great sales The Conduit - no word of mouth, hype, critical flop > bad sales And there is a difference between hype from the developer talking crap about how great that thing is (when it's not), or critics talking about how great it is. It doesn't work allways (Bayonetta), but in most cases yes (Dead Space, Bio Shock, Uncharted 2). |
Well, that's one way of saying what I said. Maybe you should read it again
