| walsufnir said: I am not so arrogant to make a statement like you did. It is obvious to you, still you are generalizing the buying behaviour of millions of people. Whatever they buy, they buy. It is *probable* that they buy some of the blockbusters but it could be that they mostly budget games for a console they bought at a budget price. Given most are buying it now because of price means many of the consoles are also gifts - gifts to children or people who are not so knowledgable about gaming like you or others. People that buy games because of covers or because there is "Lego" or "Disney" written on it. In summary, the casual crowd. |
So you want some facts to back the argument? Here are the top selling games on Brazil in 2013. Fifa 13 is ahead of Fifa 14 because it's cheaper. The same with PES 2013 outselling PES 2014. BOPS2 outsells Ghosts. Far Cry 3 is on the list. Budget pricing games and just big well-know franchises. No Lego or Disney. So it's not a generalization, but the 2013 ranking.
About children, consoles here aren't in the price point of gifts. A PS3 here is more expensive than a PS4 in the US. I'm not being arrogant with my statements, I'm talking about a reality that I live and see every day.
Edit: Hell, even GTA IV, a 2008 game manages to rank in the top 10!
