| oniyide said: @lordtheknight who the hell said review scores and sales are tied??? that an insane thought to have. YOu can say that about any medium. Books, movies, music. I wanna see a quote because i dont believe there are people that crazy who really believe that again i wanna see a quote cause i dont remember any dev saying this. (maybe EA???) |
Just because it's insane doesn't mean it isn't thought. Now it's not thinking there is any kind of direct score:sales ratio (if I implied that, I shouldn't have), but thinking that a game that has high scores must sell well (whether it's just over a million or ten million), and a game that has low scores must sell poorly (anything under a million). I see this all the time when these things don't happen, and the reveiws are brought as proof that this wasn't how the sales were "supposed" to go.
Sometimes developers or publishers will admit sales of a game aren't as good, but then bring up the reviews and wonder why it didn't sell better.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
