GT5 - 11 million copies sold. enough said.


Sales =/= quality.


On the contrary. Sales is a great way to judge quality.


Laura Gallego García's books are not better (not implying they're worse, either) than Kafka's, yet she sells three times as much as Kafka's books ever did ;)


Dunno them, are they aimed at the same target audience?

If something sells more over the long term it generally means its a quality product, because it does its job right and has good word of mouth with the target audience. Demon's Souls to Dark Souls would be a great example in the videogame industry. As would Final Fantasy XIII to XIII-2 and Lightning Returns.

Gran Turismo generally sells 10 Million plus over the long term because its a high quality product. Yeah, it opens to high numbers based on hype alone but you have to look at the legs and consistency.

People genuinely dont care that some cars look like updated PS2 models because the core gameplay is the best available. People want to rally. People want to race in the rain at night in a Mini. People continue to jump onto GT in gigantic numbers because its the best on the market for the target audience.
