Scores don't really matter in terms of sales. Cod Ghost has a 78 on metacritic and will outsell 99% of AAA games this gen. Not to mention Bayonetta 2 sales being mediocre despite hitting over 90.

They do matter.
A game with a good score will get a boost on interest and a boost on sales, compared to if it didn't have a good score or had a bad one.

This doesn't mean they'll outsell massive multiplatform games, though, and that was never said to be the case, as well.

Disagree. Bayonetta was one of the best reviewed games in its day and sold like sh&*. Plenty of examples where high end reviewed games sell averagely

Compared to low scoring games that sell high.

Movies are the same. Look at Warcraft or Batman vs Superman. Terrible scores yet popular.
