See, usually people aren't hyping a game because of potential sales, but rather because the game itself looks great. I don't see a problem with hyping games that then go on to sell less than multiple millions.

People hype a game to get other people excited for the game, movie or anything of that nature. That is what a hype man/women does, get people motivated to do something. When you see people hyping something up you expect that item or whatever it is, to be something amazing or do well. If it doesn't do well, then that hype was for no reason. I will talk about the Last of Us and God of War like nothing else, because I know they will do well. I will talk about every Nintendo First Party Franchise, because they are usually of the same name and will do well. Microsoft is on, one hand, one sided and on the other only care for shooters and that why only shooters really sell very well on their platforms. Times have changed so, my comment will be wrong.
Why back something, that you don't think or know won't do well? I personally think Sony gamers make better judgements than Microsoft gamers, but Microsoft gamers know when and how to place their hype for something. Nintendo gamers are in a league of their own and only Nintendo can keep them in check.

Why was it for "no reason". They hype it because it has great potential and looks good. Why shouldn't they back something they think will be good even though people won't agree. Should they just go with the flow like sheep and only hype up the popular stuff?

No, that's why I said they make better choices. They don't usually follow the Norm. While my post didn't reflect that, that is what I meant.
Sorry, I was completely wrong and was mentioning the wrong thing. I lost this one. Why do they stick up for a game they know is clearly missing certain things that it should have, but quick to point out other faults for another platform or game. They did it with declassified and PlayStation All-Stars, both are good, but lack the potential to be great. But I guess that is not only Sony fans, but every gamer on every platform.
I guess I just wanted to start a conversation about nothing.
