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.

This. Genres and brand matter a lot more. Score do help, but not as much as the genre of the movie/games and the brand. Forza Horizon 3 will sell around 2 million which is good, but not great.

I agree, Horizon 3 is regarded as the the best reviewed racing game this generation yet wilkl only sell 2m on XB1 and even less on PC. There are many games which will gain good reviews and just not sell well.
