Just because you buy a game, it doesn't mean that you consider it a quality game. People buy games because they are fun, because their friends bought them, because they look cool (graphics, trailer) etc. I bought Pokemon Y and I think it's a good game, but not as good as Gravity Rush. I also bought wii sports and I don't think it's a good game. It was fun at first, but then it got old.  

Again, just because you bought a game, it doesn't mean you think that game is good. Quality has nothing to do with it. No one cared about Picasso and suddendly his works are the most expensive works ever. Did they magically become better after his death? NO. Lack of interest in them or in a game, has no correlation with its quality. There's a reason Shadow of the Colossus is considered one of the best games ever made and wii play simply terrible. Tons of people bought it, but most don't think it's any good. 

You could not be more wrong.

Also, trying to draw parellels between video games and picasso.. lol.

How do you measure quality.. I mean think about it. In video games, how can you REALLY measure game quality? Biased game reviews? Your word? Mine? The only TURE and measurable way to judge game quality is sales. If a game sells great, there's probably a good reason it sold great. If a game sold like shit, it's probably shit. End of story.

Sure there may be some easilly manipulated saps that run out and buy games becuase of graphics, or because it "looked cool" but at the end of the day, if it's bad enough, they'll probably sell it back, or spread word to their friends that the game sucks, and thus the game's sales will suffer in the long run.

The surprising part of all this is Rol doesn't generally agree that SALES = QUALITY as you can clearly see the small dispute I had with him but sean malstrom does.
