What I got from this is that the PS3 is a GOTY beast. It actually is quite similar to movie of the year awards. Usually the best selling games and movies that everyone plays/watches don't get GOTY (there are exceptions of course) and for some reason the really high quality films and games that do get GOTY awards don't sell as well (they mostly still sell very well though).

The Hurt Locker =(. Such a great film yet not many people watched it. Stupid Avatar movie -.-

I actually watched the Hurt Locker and whilst it was an excellent film I slightly prefered Avatar over it. Although I agree it did deserve a better reception than it got.

+1 Avatar was a far more enjoyable, visually impressive and entertaining film than Hurt Locker. Critics prefered Hurt Locker but the sales reflect Avatar was prefered by the mass audiences. The Hurt Locker was a War Propaganda film supported by Hollywood and the Military Complex. War Propaganda films glorifying an unpopular war are never going to get the commercial success they may deserve.

In regards to games the highly rated games by the critics do not necessarily get the sales the critics want them to achieve. The customers determine the sales success of the video games. Call of Duty games have sold more than any other game in the last 6 or 7 years, over 10 million copies but highly rated games like: Heavy Rain, The Orange Box, Bioshock, Portal 2 barely sell 2 million copies each.
