Scoobes on 22 January 2011
Sales are a horrible indicator of quality. As a general rule, people are stupid. They will buy whatever crap is marketed well. Not that reviews are a great indicator, but a few select sites and publications do have good reviewing processes. With reviews as well I can estimate whether I'll like a game or not based on the text (if the review is good) rather than purely on the score. For instance, I bought The Witcher based on a relatively negative review because the explanations given suggested it'd be something I'd enjoy.
