When did gamers start caring so much about the selling of games and consoles?
I see more articles asking or discussing these things and I don't think one relates to games being good or bad. There are some bad games that sell very well and good games that sell awful and vice versa. But this has become a major focus this generation and people are no longer asking if a game is going to be good or not, but how well will it sell on said system... |
I dunno bout the rest of the internet. It doesn't really feel like the overall gaming media is any more concerned about sales than before. It's just that you are on VGCharts, a stie dedicated to tracking the sale of games and consoles, so naturally the focus on a game's sales is going to be rather high, certainly way above the norm. This doesn't mean that anyone here thinks sales = quality, just that they are interested in how much various games sell.

I see this topic constantly being brought up on multiple sites concerning exclusive games to a console, it's not an isolated incident or a very small circle of people doing this. It's the number one go to response from many people that may not be able to attack or critique a game on review ratings, so they go to game sells as if this would somehow disrupt ones enjoyment of the game themselves. I'm not saying that is what the OP is bringing up here, but it just gives ground for people to throw around these notions anyway.
