I think you're overestimating just how fast news reaches the average consumer. Most people don't look at game reviews, they just buy games and play them. Most of what they hear is by word of mouth from friends and family. It takes a little while for news of a game being mediocre or bad to get around, it certainly doesn't happen within a few days. Just look at games like Assassin's Creed Unity: the public backlash was big, but the game still did very well for the first week.

Surprisingly I have found many people who have played Assassin's Creed Unity who told me that despite it's flaws the game was very fun. Actually it ends up being just about everyone I have talked to personally who owns the game. One of them even tried talking me into it, but I wouldn't bite. I got bored in AssCreed4, so no way will I be trying the franchise again.

Unsurprisingly the media and the hardcore gaming community tend to blow things out of proportion. I have seen it all too often over the years, with AssCreed4 and Destiny being the most recent examples.

I actually do like Assassin's Creed Unity, it's not as good as Black Flag but it's better than 3, at least for me. AC Unity, however, was practically on life support a few weeks after release, to the point where Ubisoft was bundling it with already heavily discounted Xbox Ones.
