How else can you measure quality if not through sales? You're opinion? Hate to break it to you but your opinion is not gospel, it's all relative. Sales are not.


So as long as "everyone" is doing it, it must be the best thing eva...?  Is this your opinion?

No, but if people are buying X thing more than Y thing, is clearly they prefered X thing. Hence, they like it more, so is better in the consumers' eyes.

 

"Preferred" involves numerous factors of numerous priorities of the factors.  I'm not a Resident Evil fan, but I am a Silent Hill fan while the RE sereis have "enjoyed" more sales than SH.  Are you trying to say that I'm playing a "lesser quality" game?  Maybe you're not but metallicube is because he thinks sales = quality?  Now I do agree with your "better in the consumers' eyes," but those who prefer "Y thing" are consumers, too.  Yes, there are bad products, and then there are quality products that the "minority" prefers.  That is by NO means is a dictation that those products are of lesser quality.


Well... if 8 out of 10 prefered X product over Y product, we can say X product is better. That's the most logical thing I can think of to measure videogames. Maybe for the other 2 who picked Y, is better than X. But 8>2 .... making it a better product in the market
