Besides CoD none of these games were dubbed unworthy, trash, cashgrab, rehash, idiotic buy or undeserving of release.

What does any of that have to do with anything I have said, or this thread in general? Careful not to trip while backpedaling.

Great games selling a gotg is one thing (and in general all the games you listed are great besides maybe CoD). While TLOUR with as much negative press and people calling it unworthy is a different situation. The Point being games dubbed trash aren't expected to outsell game dubbed gotg.

But I asked how many predicted the gotg would be outsold by filth TLOUR. I remember people having quite high expectations for TF and saying TLOUR would bomb.

Well, you didn't. You asked in a sarcastic manner if I wasn't expecting the "game of the generation" to outsell "something negative" LoUR. Nothing about "how many". And why do I care about the expectations "people" had about either game? I already posted a link showing what mine were, months before LoUR launched. You know this, you named me in your post.

Idk, maybe call out one of those "people"? Hope that helps.

You understood it was sarcastic by yourself because I wasn't. And my question was for people in general because it was the common expectation before launch of the savior.

And it is holidays so sales matter, remember?

Not in the context you used it, no it doesn't matter. Implying TF should outsell LoU because it's the "game of the generation". As I said, LoU on PS3 proves sales are irrelevant there. Anything else?
8 million in sales is hardly irrelevant. Plus I never said sales = quality, just that a lot of people expected gotg > undeserving remaster. Matter of fact, how many remasters outsold the gotg of a gen?

i use gotg as the best game of a gen, some would use as the game that defined the gen (cod would be a serious contender with GTA for gen 7), how do you use it?

 

And I asked you namely because you said many expected TLOUR to outsell TF. But I would say that was after TF had weak numbers. Because the hype level of x1 fans were for it selling quite stronger and If TLOUR was announced before TF release even less people would say TF would be outsold by it during hype days.
