"THQ's stock fell 12% due to poor critical review (of Homefront)."
"A score of 80 is considered to be the minimum required for a 'triple A' first person shooter's commercial success."
"That hasn't stopped many of the gamers from buying Homefront. The game is the number one selling on Amazon right now. Pre-orders have had Homefront on Amazon's top spot for 28 days straight."
So these people certainly think reviews matter more than sales. I usually don't like to call people on their opinions, but I can call them on faulty assumptions, and these people are being damn stupid.
It's still too early to tell the sales, but if it sells well, that will just make those stockholders look foolish.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
