Quality, I rarely care about sales of a game outside of it being a game I like that has enough sales to justify a sequel.

I see. But in this situation for the buyers (I was thinking along the lines of the news in the OP) what matters is the sales potential of the IPs.

Saints row 3 did really well in sales I think ...I have heard good things about it from those who played it too.
