Critical acclaim most certainly affect sales. Heavy rain sold well (legs) because of critical acclaim and great word of mouth. Do you think Beyond would have sold better if it had a 90+ on meta critic and everyone loved it? Yes.
While individual reviews are just opinions, people look at them for that final decision to buy a game. Not always, and obviously people will still buy Killzone, but the quality does affect the sales.
