It's a completely new game that released on PS+ (that doesn't happen often, I hear people complain about the PS+ game selection all the time), it's an addicting online multiplayer game (so you already need a PS+ subscription to play the game anyway) and it had a good word of mouth (you don't need much to convince people when you say it's free).

Using the 5 million downloads as an argument as to why it's a great game is silly. Plenty of great games out there that bombed anyway. But hey, if you want to use "sales" as an indication of quality be my guest...

No one has said that. You're just trying to shift the argument in your favour.

It was downloaded 4.5m times because it is a great game. You said it was because it was free.

So you're saying that it would've been downloaded 4.5 million times if it wasn't free? The only way it could ever reach those numbers was by being free, so what I said is correct. I didn't make any statements about the quality of the game. It's the second game in the franchise and the first one never got this attention. Why? Because it wasn't free.
