If that was the case, the gross revenue reported for holiday sales would be almost 3x higher than it currently is. Please try and think before hastly replying as it makes you look utterly foolish. Interesting how you've picked an established game series to claim a similar comparision in a shoddy attempt to prove I am wrong. You also have not provided any statistics regarding impulse buying or really anything intelligent for that matter. First of all, and I don't know times I have to say this until it gets through your thick skull but like I stated, reviews are a major contributing factor to sales and there are the exceptions. You've seem to have provided an excellent example without realizing. GTAV has a meta of 97 vs TLOU at 95. GTAV is the highest reviewed game this year and outsold ever other game released. See, I don't have to debate you because eventually you end up refuting yourself due to your own stupidity! |
Define "consumer" because if we look up at the dictionary it means "a person who aquires goods and services for his or her own personal needs" and by using that definition it clearly means that everyone is a consumer because they need basic resources such as food and shelter so they are essentially "consuming" in this sense. Your the one who looks foolish now. It's better than bringing up dumb fallacies such as the "impulse buy" excuse. Yet your clearly grasping at straws here because I asked why sales were not "comparable". Can you explain to me why there is over a "20 million" game sales difference between these titles despite having almost the scores? I thought so and you probably can't explain why the rest of the shit is different ... Start by properly reading somone's post or you'll only keep giving dumb replies.
| Nirvana_Nut85 said: Your not getting the point. Were you dropped on your head numerous times in your youth??? Again, I'll repeat myself because you simply can't quite comprehend. FOR THE MOST PART REVIEWS "CONTRIBUTE" TO SALES!!! Your argument claiming it is not is absolutely absurd. Also, please stop talking about the market because you obviouly (and it's very apparent)do not have a damn clue about about how the market actually operates. Your argument can be easily flipped and you fail to include the userbase on each console. High rated game like GTAV on consoles with 80Mill userbases will have signifcantly more sales than a game that came out 2 weeks ago with a userbase of now 4.5 mill. |
Well gee if that's true then why are there soo many inconsistencies ? The highest rated game in 2008 which was GTA 4 got beaten by mario kart WII. Can you explain the same for 2009 when uncharted 2 got shitted on by COD WAW in terms of sales ? Or how about in 2010 when super mario galaxy 2 got it's ass handed to Red Dead Redemption ? You probably couldn't do the same in 2011 for why Batman got destroyed by the likes of battlefield 3.
If I don't know how the market operates then you obviously don't know shit about the market. The masses clearly do not operate on game scores. Guess what ? These are all games different from each other so no excuses.
Don't give more "it's on smaller install base" crap. The point of the game is that it's supposed to make you buy the god damned console.
| Nirvana_Nut85 said: I have refuted as well as pointed out the lack of "quality" in your absurd posts and misunderstanding of game sales. Every time you are proven false and I bring up a new point, you continue to regurgitate the same "as you Brits would call it" poppycock that has already been renedered moot. But, by all means keep going. I enjoy refuting your impared logic! |
The one with impaired logic is you cause you clearly can't explain all these distortions between the game sales and metacritic scores. Give up dude, it's obvious that review scores =/= sales.
