your whole argument also falls apart by right at the start. you talk about the popularity of super man as a logo and figure that spans accross many different forms of entertainment. if a game was made and sold like shit, the game wouldnt be popular, but superman still is, because he is more than just a game. again, if the game doesnt sell millions, its not popular, but superman is because he is more than just that game, he is in comics, tv shows, cartoons, parodys, movies and so on. |
Mario franchise has had mega amounts of toys, has had a hollywood movie, TV shows, candy, clothing. Alot of Nintendo gaming products (and gaming products in general) have branched off into multiple sectors.
You missed my point entirely. I know what Fire Emblem is, I know what type of game it is, I even know the characters, but it has not gotten a single sale from me. That's my point, you cannot measure popularity by judging a games sales. If a game sells alot of units then you know its a popular game, but you don't know how popular based on the sales alone. Like you said previuosly, sales are just an indicator for how popular a game is, but it isn't the defining factor like you seem to think it is.
At OP, sorry I'll stop going off topic.
