Tis pretty odd but the sales and reviews almost never go hand in hand tho. When it comes to metacritic'ing the DS I would imagine that 99.9999% of people don't know the highest rated game on the system on top of that it's the 101st highest seller according to this sites sales. (you know you're cheating if you click the link before taking a guess to what it is! :D ) http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/ds?view=condensed&sort=desc Kinda goes the other way around then with some things, the 2nd highest selling Vita to date is its absolute lowest scoring game on metacritic. Main thing the Wii-u needs is a system seller, this doesn't really need to be an amazing game... just an amazing reason to buy the system. |
I haven't looked but I'm guessing it's GTA: Chinatown wars. At any rate, sales and scores SHOULDN'T be the same thing. Obviously something like Wonderful 101 isn't going to have the broad appeal of something like Mario. Ratings should help sales, but they shoulnd't be the same thing or we'd have an industry that simply panders to critics.
As for the games...
Mario 3D World- 88% (People who play this mainly with multiplayer will rate it very highly. People who don't will score it lowly.
DK Tropical Freeze- 84% (Along the lines of the first, but possibly a little lower because it's hard to have the same buzz as the revival did.)
Sonic Lost World-83% (So far what we've seen has been great, but Sonic has usually mixed great ideas with some not so great ones. We'll see if there is something holding this game back.)
Legend of Zelda Wind Waker 93% (Along the same lines of OOT remake)
