??? you just repeated what I said, im sure the average gamer doesnt really care about sales. Id wager most people who have no financial stake in these companies care more about the reviews than the sales


I wouldn't wager that. Just because you don't care about sales doesn't mean you thereby care about reviews.

And reviews are just a vocal minority when it comes to quality judgements. Critics scathed Star Wars when it first came out. And I don't just mean only in reviews. A lot of critical writing from the 80s and 90s really hates on the Star Wars original trilogy, seeing especially the first movie as what brought down what they saw as a golden age of movies in the 70s. But who really decided it was good? The critics or moviegoers who gave lots of good word of mouth?

That is why sales matter, but more importantly, why reviews don't matter.

Well if thats the case then McDonalds makes the best food ever, and Twilight and Transformers are some of the best movies ever made

Macdonalds is (...) really great at (...) decent food.

I think I died a little inside.
