I think good reviews help sales, ultimately though it is the word of mouth that drives sales. Want a game to succeed tell everyone one you know how bad ass it is and slowly watch. Word of mouth is key, which means a game must be fun and sometimes the great reviewed games are not always that way for the majority of users.
Hence why we have niche games with a rabid fan base but terrible sales.
