3. Ultimately, yes review scores are important. But looking at the sales, FF13-2 has sold about half the copies of FF13. That means a lot of players just wern't interested in the sequel after playing the first one. That does not bode well for FF13-3. While personally at this point in time I have no intention of buying, despite being a long time fan of the series.

I must disagree : people not buying doesn't mean the game is bad, it just means they're not interested. If Ni no Kuni sells less than FFXIII, FFXIII-2 or Lightning Returns, can we consider it a bad game because people were less interested than in bad games like FFXIII-2? Is Resident Evil Revelations bad because everyone bought RE6 instead? Seriously the amount of sales is not relevant in this debate.

I haven't said the game is bad, but I didn't think the demo was that much fun tbh.

Final Fantasy 13 sold about 7 mil copies, Final Fantasy 13-2 sold less than 3 mil copies. Now no ones saying that it was a bad game, but there is a reason why the sequel sold half of what the original did, and thats because those consumers were not as interested in the game as the first one, for whatever reasons.

Ni No Kuni is a new IP; I'm not going to compare that game to something like FF13-2. The same thing goes for Dark Souls and Demons Souls. Neither sold as much as FF13, but both are considered commercially successful.
