Metacritic scores means nothing if your games keep flopping on a commercial basis.

Would you rather a system full of crappy games that sell well to the masses?

Those so called "crappy" games are realized in high quality according to the masses so yes.  

Great, you can enjoy Just Dance 4 and Angry Birds Star Wars, I'd rather play decent games regardless of their sales.

Your forgetting games like GTA V and COD there buddy. While you keep playing "quantity" games, I'll be playing "quality" games. 

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure that's my argument that you suddenly switched to...

Yet GTA V and COD sells alot so what's your point ? I guess you consider them as trash because their "crappy games that sell to the masses". 

I never said that. A good game can sell well or sell poorly for many reasons. I'd play it regardless of how it sells. Either way.

I won't avoid a game just because it appeals to the masses, but at the same time I won't buy a game because of it.

If it's sooo good then why does the rest of the market think differently ? To buy a game must mean that it's probably a good game because you don't spend your money on trash games. Therefore it speaks volumes about a games quality by the masses. SALES = QUALITY

Haha, funny how this was the argument us Nintendo fans used 4 years ago.. Looks as if Sony and Nintendo fans have swapped stances on this once again.. how times have changed


I'm not realy sure what you guys are arguing about.  Ghosts is behind Black Ops 2 by 11 million, and its most likely going to continue the trend of COD selling about 3 million or so less every year.   GTA V sold really well because Rockstar made people wait, its a really good game, and people were itching to play something.  I have never bought a GTA before and I even picked it up because this years lineup has been pretty lame and was just filled with games that I am sick of playing like Gears, Batman, and Splinter Cell.   A lack of quality no doubt effects sales.  Battlefield 4 is terrible and it has only sold a fraction of what 3 did, and thats with it being only $25 on Black Friday a month after it launched.
