Japanese games are showing western devs HOW QUALITY DOESN'T SELL GAMES!

EA, Ubisoft and Activision can drop a steaming pile of shit and it'll still sell more in a week than the likes of NieR Automata, Xenoblade, and Shadow of the Colossus lifetime.

All this talk about "quality" is stuff for the nerdy hardcore gamer to feel good about.

Well, Nier Automata has sold far more than every expectation for it. I don't think it's entirely to throw it in a comparison with Xenoblade or Shadow of the Colossus. Nier will end up selling over 2m and that's fantastic for an action RPG. Especially one that has such a small dev and ad budget compared to the big hitters from EA, Ubi, and Activision.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
