are you seriously implying that the kids who spend 10 hours a day playing Call of Duty aren't really 'into all that gaming stuff'? the reality is that people have different tastes. just because a ton of people out there seem to prefer casual first person shooters than heavily time consuming and frankly harder RPG's doesn't mean they're not 'into all that gaming stuff', in fact it means quite the opposite, just that they specifically have different tastes
I don't think anyone could deny that a game like Black Ops is pretty good for its genre, but if you're not a fan of shooters then obviously one won't appreciate it. apples and oranges in the end in terms of taste and comparisons |
Call of duty isnt even good for its genre. Check metaciritc or amazon ratings, the customers arnt even satisfied with the game.
Different tastes doesnt come into play when 90% of the gaming community dont even know one of to games exist.
This thread didnt want to check which games will sell better, it wanted to check how people who really bother with gaming will act like. People who know more about those 2 games as just a trailer.
Its the same with all the console war. Make a poll here on forums and obviously wii u will do much better as it is doing in terms of sales.
But why? Ask 10 none gaming people about ps4, xbox one and wii u. Probl 9/10 will know ps4/xbox one but be sure, half of that people wont even know whats a wii u. Like wii? The thing with the motio controller?
Marketing make sales in gaming, thats a fact. Quality has almost no impact on sales, but people who really bother with gaming (which are a minority) and invest alot time to compare games will come to another result.
Marketing = sales to the casuals (big majority)
Quality = sales to hardcore gamer (big minority)
