True. And I had not thought about this, but TLOU has really increased the popularity of cinematic games. If it gets compared to TLOU in any way that should give it a huge boost.


The negative coverage this game has received will have an impact on the sales.

yes. none of the Xbox fanboys will buy it now.

The TLOU got plenty of "hate" prior to release. Remember it followed Uncharted 3 which was a let down for alot of people, people were saying its another Zombie game, etc. Fact is the game will be top 20 on Amazon for the month BEFORE it releases.

The actually quality of the game, or lack there of will decide its sales. Look at Watchdogs, that game was a hate fest up til launch. Still sold 10 million. Only a very small portion of the consumer base actually looks at the meta score and even less get caught up in fanboy wars on gaming forums.

Advertising and word of mouth are king.
