GoW3 79 votes ahead...wow! |
80 now. But it's not that bad. God of War 3 has aout 59% of the sales. I thought it would die after what it did to Uncharted 2.

I told you already earlier in the thread - it's not about the size of the retail sales but the dedicated fanbase. A game with 20 million sales and only 10 people willing to bother voting for it would lose out to a game with 20 sales and 20 people willing to bother voting for it.
Votes like yours are tests of active fanbase - which is fine - nothing else. As I noted earlier it was obvious early on that MGS4 and GoW3 would end up in the finals. TBH if you hadn't sneakily manouvered Uncharted 2 up against GoW3 and given Reach a second life to try and avoid the obvious result Uncharted 2 would undoubtably been in third as it clearly has probably the third most active support base behind GoW3 and MGS4.
Funny to see how civilized the whole thing seems between the finalists. Now if you'd managed to get Reach into the final vs a Sony exclusive no doubt sparks would be flying!

so you saying if gear of war sold more than god of war but god of war has better fanbase and more ppl like it?????
|
That's not at all what he's saying. His point is even with a larger fanbase, a game with a lower, but more dedicated fanbase will outvote the former. This is why God of War is winning out over Metal Gear Solid. We know it can't be because of the acclaimed "site preference" as both games are PlayStation 3 exclusives, so that just leaves the fanbase. On VG Chartz, God of War's is stronger.
|
so that mean god of war has more active fanbase than metal gear solid 4???
|
On VG Chartz, it looks that way.
|
Yup. That's exactly it. Thanks CGI. A very active small community will tend to outvote a much larger fairly inactive community when it comes to stuff like this.
TBH though I thought MGS4 had the more active community on the forums so I've been a bit surprised at how much active support old Kratos has.
|
so more active fanbase is better than a large fanbase??
