Now relativity matters. But not relativity to budget or expectations. Only arbitrary relativity based on the publisher.

No. I don't want to play Bayonetta, a violent game about cliche demons versus demons versus angels. In the meantime, a ton of people bought Mario Kart 8, I know I did. I skipped Mario Kart Wii, but I had to get this one. |
I find it far too suspicious that you conveniently consider the games you bought to be big sellers while the games you weren't interested in are weak sellers even when they outsold the former. ZombiU was a financial failure and it has been outsold by at least ten other Wii U games, and is probably overtracked to boot. It is not remotely a good example of a strong seller.
